Presents a sketch of a system architecture for the control and management tasks of an intelligent vehicle/highway system (IVHS)

This report focuses on the design of controllers for platoons of automatically-controlled automobiles using COSPAN computer language. In order to ensure that it is safe to initiate a maneuver, the platoon layer controller enters into a negotiation with its neighbors and is implemented as a...

This paper documents the development of a communications architecture for Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) being studied by the California PATH Program. The authors use a layered architecture based on the OSI 7- layer reference model.
