摘要: |
The study documented in this report was conducted under contract to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for the Intelligent Vehicle/Highway Systems Research Division and is one of the Precursor Systems Analyses for Automated Highway Systems (AHS). The document describes the analyses and results for Activity Area M, Alternative Propulsion Systems Impacts. The objectives of this activity were to assess the impact of Alternative Propulsion Systems (APS) on the deployment of automated highway systems in terms of issues and risks, including: costs/benefit tradeoffs, operational and performance issues and requirements, infrastructure impacts and technology. The unique vehicle modeling and AHS parameterization approaches used in this study enabled the identification and quantification of APS performance issues under various roadway, terrain and operating conditions that should be considered in the design and operation of advanced guideways and vehicles. The study also provides a survey of APS technologies, battery technology and alternative fuels. This report consists of resource materials only. |
