AHS Deployment : A Preliminary Assessment of Uncertainties

This paper provides a preliminary assessment of uncertainties, both technical and institutional, associated with the deployment of Automated Highway Systems (AHS). Seven issues are addressed concerning whether: ( 1) People use AHS, (2) Auto makers manufacture equipped vehicles, (3) Government builds AHS roadways, (4) Highways can evolve, (5) Interest groups do not obstruct, (6) Performance is adequate, and (7) Technology is feasible. For each issue, a table is provided that lists some of the more critical uncertainties.
