| 摘要： | The automated highway system (AHS) is a surface transportation system program that uses modern electronics to instrument highways and vehicles to provide "hands-off" and "feet-off" vehicle operation. Research to date shows that AHS has the potential to double or triple the nation's highway efficiency and to dramatically increase highway safety. The impact of AHS on the nation's highways would be comparable to the impact the jet engine had on aviation 40 years ago. FHWA has established an AHS program that will (a) identify and analyze alternative AHS concepts; (b) demonstrate the potential feasibility of AHS in 1997; and (c) if feasible, select and document the evolutionary AHS concept to be operationally tested beyond 1997. An operational test, with public participation, would then be conducted. Analysis, modeling, simulation, and testing will be used in comparing and evaluating the concepts. To assist FHWA in defining the AHS program, an initial definition and assessment of alternative AHS concepts has been made. The process by which AHS concepts were defined using the primary system characteristics of an AHS, specifically the functional and physical characteristics of an AHS, are described, and those characteristics that may vary from one concept to another are identified. From this, those distinguishing factors, termed concept definition factors, are used to postulate the initial set of AHS concepts. |
