Precursor Systems Analyses of Automated Highway Systems. Activity Area P.Preliminary Cost/Benefit Factors Analysis. Volume 2. System Configurations: Evolutionary Deployment Considerations

摘要

The goal of the Precursor System Analysis (PSA) Cost/Benefit task is to develop aframework for the evaluation of alternative Automated Highway System (AHS) concepts, with respect to full life-cycle costs and benefits. This framework will be applied to a range of scenarios, to capture benefits and costs on a regional and national basis. The framework will account for risks and uncertainties, with respect to such factors as market penetration, construction and vehicle costs, and public acceptance for new facilities.
