Precursor Systems Analyses of Automated Highway Systems. Automated Check-in.Volume 2

摘要

The report summarizes the research results in the Automated Check-in ActivityArea. Situations in AHS where transition from manual to automated control takes place are analyzed. In particular, vehicle fitness testing to ensure safe and smooth automated operation has been emphasized. The check-in procedures presented here and an effective malfunction management system, together with a reliable control system, would ensure a safe, smoothly operating AHS system. It is concluded that on-board built-in diagnostic tests are practical for sensor testing since crucial sensor tests can be performed via consistency checks on the redundant paths; on-board built-in tests of control actuators and electronics is also practical, provided the systems are designed for testability.
