| 摘要： | Recent activity in the field of automated highway research and advancements in transportation management have brought attention to the potential benefits of automated maintenance capabilities for new and existing infrastructure. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 established an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Program whose goal it is to apply advanced technologies and methods to the solutions of this country's surface transportation needs. The National Automated Highway System Consortium (NAHSC) is a government- industry-academia collaboration to apply automated control technology to the U.S. vehicle-highway system to greatly improve the safety, mobility, and quality of highway travel. The NAHSC will conduct a technical feasibility demonstration August 7-10, 1997 in San Diego. Demonstration '97, as it is referred to, will show that the vision of an automated highway system (AHS) can be made a practical reality. As a part of this process, an Infrastructure Diagnostic Vehicle (IDV) is being developed by the Consortium to address automated maintenance issues. Working closely with their Consortium partners, Lockheed Martin is integrating several advanced technologies into a 1996 Chevrolet Lumina Minivan whose primary purpose will be to showcase potential AHS infrastructure applications. In keeping with the spirit and intent of Demonstration '97, this vehicle is not being presented as a prototype for near term implementation by highway departments. It is being used as a platform to assure highway maintenance organizations across the country that the impacts of an AHS to their areas of concern are in fact being considered right along side the more basic question of "can we make a car that can drive itself?". Rather the approach being taken provides a more balanced view of how an AHS would affect all elements of society. The paper which follows will provide the reader a brief introduction into the world of AHS and provide insight into the multiple technologies being implemented on the IDV. The focus will be on how the IDV "maintenance" scenario planned for Demonstration '97 will utilize road following navigation, voice recognition, communications and magnetic field theory in the execution of multiple maintenance missions. When an AHS someday becomes a practical reality we must be prepared with a "toolbox" full of the appropriate tools to maintain it adequately and cost effectively. The IDV represents yet another small step in that direction. |
