摘要: This study examines the lessons to be learned from the experience of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system, particularly as applied to the growing research on automated highway systems (AHS). By examining the technical and nontechnical issues surrounding the development and implementation of BART in the 1960s and 1970s, the insights gained may be applied to future research and ultimate deployment of AHS. The first section of the report describes the analogy of BART by comparing some of the technical and nontechnical performance factors surrounding AHS and BART. Several pertinent technical and nontechnical issues surrounding BART are described in more detail, emphasizing the decision making that went into BART's development, testing, and opening for revenue service. Several key issues are pursued in detail. Technically, the issues of safety, reliability, and maintenance were identified and investigated. It appears that sound system engineering principles were not applied in the BART case, and specific recommendations for improving this practice for AHS are described. In addition, the nontechnical issues of political pressure and loss of public confidence are also investigated. In this case, these pressures have severely hindered BART from achieving its full potential. The insights from the BART experience are directed toward improving the planning, design, development, and ultimate deployment of AHS.
