Abstract

This paper is concerned with technical investigations of traffic operations on automated highways. Estimates are made of the steady-state capacity of such freeways, paying particular attention to the effect of entry and exit maneuvers. The possibility of scheduling departing vehicles appropriately into platoons to minimize extraneous maneuvers is investigated. Characteristics of urban areas likely to be candidates for automated freeways are discussed, and some shortcomings of automated freeways, vis-à-vis conventional freeways, are pointed out. Finally, some areas of future research needs are identified.
