摘要: Presented in this report is an automated vehicle conversion system, which provides a low-cost method of reducing worker exposure to hazardous conditions. Automation of a traffic control vehicle not only eliminates the risk to the life of the driver but also eliminates the labor expense of a driver. Safety to work crews and motorists is enhanced as well. The report states that intelligent vehicle highway systems (IVHS) also offer benefits such as automated collision-prevention and completely autonomous intelligent vehicle tracking, navigation, and control. In Phase I of this project, investigators demonstrated the automated follow vehicle capability on both reduced-scale and full-scale vehicles. The resulting automated system is easily adaptable to existing highway maintenance vehicles. Phase II will be commercialization of the system.
