摘要: This article features the National Automated Highway System Consortium (NAHSC) introduction of an automated highway system (AHS) that improves traffic safety and highway efficiency. As required by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), NAHSC will conduct a proof-of-technical feasibility demonstration project north of San Diego to show that AHS is a viable and practical option for meeting travel demands and enhancing mobility without building new highways. The demonstration slated for August 7-10, 1997, will be a full-scale live, multi-vehicle demonstration of AHS technologies that will provide stakeholders, elected officials, the media, and the general public with a glimpse of the potential safety, environmental, and efficiency benefits in a real-world, real-time setting. The demonstration is designed to show that the technologies necessary to create an automated highway system already exist or can be developed shortly. The demonstration results will help the intelligent transportation community select the most promising AHS technologies and conceptual approach, which will ultimately lead to an AHS operational test with public participation.
