SYSTEMS STUDIES OF AUTOMATED HIGHWAY SYSTEMS: APPENDIX II-ANALYSIS OF AUTOMATED HIGHWAY SYSTEMS

The Automated Highway Systems studies were undertaken to analyze and evaluate candidate system concepts and to determine their practicality for deployment in the 1990 to 2000 time frame. The focus of this document is the establishment of a final set of system concepts and implementation plans, development of a set of system building blocks from which the various system configurations can be synthesized for cost evaluation, analysis of system deployments in both urban and intercity environments, and thus determination of a reduced set of alternatives for further analysis. The selected set of deployments was the subject of subsequent trade analysis to reduce costs and/or improve system implementation through the identification of a set of preferred trade-off positions.
