IVHS/AHS: driving into the future

Intelligent vehicle highway systems (IVHS) involve the systems integration of many emerging technologies to effectively address the needs, both present and future of the nation's roadway complex. An introduction to and brief history of IVHS is presented. Then, a more detailed overview of automated highway systems (AHS), the part of IVHS of most interest to control engineers, is given. One focus is on various control issues that must be confronted before an AHS is deployed.<
