ABSTRACT
Abstract:
Automated Highway System (AHS) is an intelligent transportation system,
which removes human drivers from the operation on vehicles during driving
Objectives:
Incident detection and weather sensors to further reduce vehicle crashes and
fatalities.
Scope:
The procedures consequently improve safety, reduce fuel consumption, and
lessen vehicle wear and tear.
The term intelligent transportation system (ITS) refers to attempts made to align
technology-based data, information, and interactions toward transport infrastructure
discipline.
Allowing vehicles to communicate with infrastructure systems to improve road access and
operation. Such strategies could also manage lane and speed control signs and signals.
ITS technologies include state-of-the art wireless, electronic, and automated technologies
with a goal to improve surface transportaton safety, efficiency, and convenience.
Facilitating optimal route planning and timing using the ITS technologies.
Traffic Signal Control - to manage traffic speeds, vehicle merging and corridor crossings, To maximize fuel efficiency,
traffic signal controls can be fixed to reduce vehicle accelerations, decelerations
Incident Management -include improved surveillance, verification, and dispatch to manage an incident,
Smart Parking Management-improve payment methods and enforcement, as well as providing information for finding
and reserving a space in advance.
Electronic Toll Collection - Reductions in fuel consumption due to reduced delays at toll facilities
Commercial Vehicle Operations - to enable the weighing and cataloging of trucks without causing vehicles to stop and
queue in line
Human Factors - energy benefits accrue from reduced congestion and stop-and-go driving—resulting in smoother traffic
flows
Public Transit Management - automatic vehicle location, real-time bus arrival signage, traffic signal priority, and
automated information announcements
