HUMAN FACTORS DESIGN OF AUTOMATED HIGHWAY SYSTEMS (AHS) : PRELIMINARY DEFINITION OF AHS FUNCTIONS

This report is the second in a series that describes a human factors systems analysis of Automated Highway Systems (AHS). The purpose of this report is to define the functionality of a fully automated AHS. Functions are described that cover the entire range of AHS operations from automated vehicle coordination and control to communications to automated fault detection and management. The results will be used in subsequent analyses on alternative ways to allocate system functions between the human driver and the automation.
