AUTOMATED HIGHWAY SYSTEMS: THE SMART WAY TO GO

This paper describes the Automated Highway System (AHS) design, as developed at PATH (University of California Partners for Advanced Transit and Highways) over the past five years, focusing on the control architecture and some questions of implementation. It discusses in detail the design and safety verification of the onboard vehicle control system and the design of the link layer traffic flow controller. The paper also provides a brief summary of the NAHSC (National Automated Highway System Consortium), which is a six-year United States Department of Transportation funded program, whose goal is to demonstrate parts of AHS technologies and design a prototype AHS system.
