摘要：	This project demonstrated an Advanced Rotary Plow (ARP) with automatic steering that allows the ARP to follow magnets embedded in the pavement. This project is one of the first real-world applications derived from PATH/Caltrans research in the area of automated vehicle control. A modified snowblower with add-on sensors, actuator, computer and driver interfaces was developed, and initial field tests were conducted along the 8 guardrail sections between Kingvale and Soda Springs on the shoulders of Interstate-80 near Donner Summit. The results from the field tests and ride-along demonstrated that the prototype system achieved all critical performance goals and received very positive feedback from various stakeholders as well as the operators. Although a full winter field operational tests were not completed due to the end of the winter season, the successful development as well as the initial field tests suggests feasibility toward deployment. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by California State Dept. of Transportation, Sacramento. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
