Precursor Systems Analyses of Automated Highway Systems. Task D: Lateral-Longitudinal Control Analysis. Volume 4. AHS System Concept Evaluation Document. Resource Materials

摘要

The report provides the evaluation and conclusions drawn from the Lateral-Longitudinal Control Study, one of a number of Precursor Systems Analyses being performed to develop preliminary concepts for the Automated Highway System. The Document evaluates Representative System Concepts (RSCs) described in the AHS System Concept Definition Document against the functional requirements defined in the AHS Maneuver Definition and Functional Requirements Document. Evaluation criteria are also defined and applied to the RSCs. Relative strengths and weaknesses are described, and system issues are highlighted. The report also presents the results of preliminary simulation work performed under the contract.
