Intelligent vehicle platoon driving is a process of the flexible formation based on the coordination between vehicle and highway in the intelligent vehicle-highway system, which can increase the controllability of traffic, simplify the complexity of traffic control, and ease the traffic pressure. It has been constructed that the intelligent vehicle platoon driving simulation experiment system u...

The photologged database can provide an effective base for the management of information on construction and repair of highway and its auxiliary facilities. This paper is the design of the photograph database. The photograph data is collected with a mobile mapping system composed of the ChargeCoupled Device (CCD) cameras, the Global Positioning System (GPS), and the Inertial Navigation System (...

This reference manual includes sections on (1) concepts of functional highway classification and functional system characteristics and (2) suggested procedures for functional highway classification in rural, small urban and urbanized areas. The material herein is adapted from two previous FHWA manuals concerned with functional highway classification. The relationship of this manual to these pre...

The idea of vehicle-highway communications sufficient to assume driving functions for the driver is not new. Researchers have articulated both its value and feasibility for several decades; and military and vehicle manufacturer test facility developments have proven the concept’s viability. As mounting congestion conflicts with environmental constraints, the Automated Highway System (AHS) promi...

Considerable experimental and theoretical research has been carried out in an attempt to design an automated highway system that can provide more efficient utilization of the highways and at the same time be safer and more comfortable than the current highway system. Here we present a unified framework for carrying out safety callculations for the automated highway problem. We obtain sufficient...
