This study reports on a preliminary design of a health monitoring system for automated vehicles. A new detailed nonlinear vehicle simulation which extends the current simulation is documented and will be used as a future testbed for evaluating the performance of the health monitoring system. A...

This report focuses on the DYNASMART simulation program presents a model that is capable of simulating large urban networks under various Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) and Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) strategies. It includes modules for driver responses to...

This document contains the technical appendices to the report on Investigating Intelligent Transportation Systems Strategies on the Santa Monica Freeway Corridor (see PATH Database record no. 8800.)

This nal report describes the application of computer vision techniques to the lateral and longitudinal control of an autonomous highway vehicle. In the part of the project we focused on an analysis of the vehicle's lateral dynamics and the design of an appropriate controller for lateral control...

This report describes the development of a new model that can monitor system performance and derive management and control strategies in real time. It presents the TMERT (Turning Movement Estimation in Real Time) model, a method of estimating turning movement flows from link detected flows at...

This report documents the current state of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) technologies in Europe with special attention to advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) and advanced traffic management systems (ATMS). The views presented in the report are largely derived from...

The objective of this paper is to develop a throughput model of a multiple- lane Automated Highway System (AHS) with lane changes. The paper uses deterministic approximations to model highway throughput, accounting for both longitudinal and lateral requirements. The model is designed to account...

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the travel and emissions impacts of urban freeway automation scenarios and to compare these to travel demand reduction scenarios, such as travel pricing and land use intensification. The Sacramento regional travel demand model set was used and an...

This study examines the lessons to be learned from the experience of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system, particularly as applied to the growing research on automated highway systems (AHS). The first section of the report briefly motivates the analogy of BART by comparing some...
