摘要：	This effort, to develop and demonstrate a control architecture for Intelligent Vehicles that is deployable within the next 5 to 10 years, was funded by the Arizona State Legislature and administered by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). In particular, the research team investigated the following 'new' concepts as far as AHS and Intelligent Vehicles are concerned: (1) The use of a hierarchical control structure that requires less frequent, and less spatially dense, communication between the traffic operations center and the vehicles, and requires less computational effort for lateral and longitudinal control of the vehicles on the highway; and (2) The use of cheaper sensor technology for establishing vehicle position and implementing feedback control. It was concluded from this project that the technology is ready for affordable intelligent autonomous vehicles. The control of those vehicles is robust and reliable, and requires minimal and affordable additional highway infrastructure. It is anticipated that using intelligent vehicles would increase air quality and decrease energy consumption. Potential legal issues would be a major obstacles to the public use of such vehicles. However, the technology developed in this project may be utilized in many specialized applications or restricted environments.
