A SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC VEHICLE LATERAL GUIDANCE

IT IS CLEAR THAT SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS IN BOTH LIVES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH HIGHWAY AUTOMATION. THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OBTAINED FROM ONE PHASE OF AN AUTOMATION STUDY-AUTOMATIC LATERAL GUIDANCE-ARE PRESENTED IN THIS PAPER. PRELIMINARY RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE PROPOSED SYSTEM IS FEASIBLE ON NONREINFORCED ROADS. THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED ON REINFORCED HIGHWAYS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND ARE PRESENTED IN DETAIL TOGETHER WITH A DISCUSSION OF ONE POSSIBLE SOLUTION. /AUTHOR/
