AUTOMATED HIGHWAY SYSTEM
 What is AHS ?
• This is done using sensors that serve as the vehicle’s eyes, determining lane position
and the speed and location of other vehicle.

• Actuators on throttle, brake,and steering wheel gives the vehicle the commands that
driver normally would.

• An automated highway system is a vehicle and road based system that can drive a
vehicle automatically
THE MAJOR GOALS :
1. Improve safety by significantly reducing:
•Personal injury.
•Pain and suffering.
2. Save money and optimize investment by:
•Maximizing efficiency of the existing infrastructure investment.
•Developing affordable equipment, vehicles, infrastructure, operations, maintenance, and user fees.
3.Improve accessibility and mobility by:
•Achieving a smooth traffic flow, reducing delays, travel times, travel time variability, and driver
stress.
•Making driving more accessible to less able drivers.
TYPES OF AS :

 Fully Automated System:

Fully automated driving would let drivers be totally disengaged from all
driving tasks

 Partially Automated Systems:

Partially automated systems include notification and warning systems,
temporary emergency controls and continuous partial controls, which
take limited control of the vehicle in emergency situations.
METHODOLOGY
• A driver electing to use such an automated highway might first pass through a
validation lane,
• The system would then determine if the car will function correctly in an
automated mode, establish its destination, and deduct any tolls from the driver's
credit account.
• An automatic control system would coordinate the movement of newly entering
and existing traffic.
• Once travelling in automated mode, the driver could relax until the turnoff.
• At this point, the system would need to check whether the driver could retake
control, then take appropriate action if the driver were asleep, sick, or even dead
DRAW BACKS :

• Congestion at entry&exit
• Unclear Impact on Land Use and Environment:
• Safety
• Equity
• Institutional Issues
• Organizational Issues
• Liability issues
 AUTHOR YEAR REMARKS

Praveen Kumar 2005 Has found an implementation

of GIS in combination with
other advanced communication
computer techno- Logies to
traveler information systems
enables the conspicuous
dissemination of information
about fixed-route facilities,
such as offices, educational
institutions, health facilities,
places of tourist interest, etc.
AUTHOR YEAR REMARKS

Baublys 2002 Has found transport

management and substantiated
national transport system
development may reveal
numerous qualitatively new
ideas, which would essentially
enable the enhancement of
transport efficiency and
realization of big, still unused,
its economic and technological
progress reserves.
 AUTHOR YEAR REMARKS

Chien, Y. Zhang, and A. 1993 have defined a model based on

Stotsky the behavior of human drivers.
While it is possible to design
control laws for automated
vehicles so that they behave
like those driven by people,
this is not the only approach.
No multiple lanes or lane
change commands are
considered in this work.
 AUTHOR YEAR REMARKS

Jose E. Florez 1990 combines Linear Programming

(LP) with automated planning
techniques to obtain good
quality solutions and
introduced TIMIPLAN that
successfully solves big multi-
modal transportation tasks.
Multimodal transportation
usually involves the
combination of many
resources, together with
temporal constraints, resource
consumption,
cost functions, etc.
CONCLUSION :
• Automated Highway Systems brings major transportation
benefits in terms of safety, efficiency, affordability and
usability, and environment in order to achieve its development
goals.
• Although safety is an important improvement,it may not be
enough to justify.
• Several U.S. DOT reports on AHS show that there are no
technical and non-technical showstoppers.
• However, legal, institutional, and societal challenges just as
critical as technical issues.
• because they are much to do with people’s perception,
behavior, consensus and social changes based on those.
