Automated Highway System

Published on 01 Apr 2021. Written by Salman Mohammed

The automated highway system (AHS) gives a relationship between vehicles and the highways. AHS refers to a set of lanes on a less used roadway where well-equipped vehicles operate themselves. AHS uses vehicle and highway control technologies that shifts driving functions to the vehicle.

The vehicle itself operates driving to provide safe and convenient travel. AHS also uses communication, sensor and obstacle-detection technologies to recognize. The vehicles and highway coordinate vehicle movement. avoiding obstacles, improving traffic flow, improving safety and reducing congestion.

AHS Goals

1. To improve safety by reducing fatalities, pain, suffering, anxiety, and stress of driving.
2. To save money and investment by closing the gap on predicted infrastructure needs.
3. To improve accessibility and mobility by making driving easy to less able drivers.
4. To improve environmental efficiencies for electric-powered vehicles and alternative fuel vehicles.
5. To create jobs by providing a stronger national economy and increasing global competitiveness.

Methodology

A driver wishing to use such an automated highway might first pass through a validation lane. The system would then determine if the car will function in an automated mode. worst operating vehicles will get diverted to manual lanes.

The driver would then steer into a merging area, and the car would be guided through a gate onto an automated lane. Once traveling in automated mode, the driver can relax until the turn-off.

Advancement to this lane is mixed traffic, in which all sort of vehicles moves. This approach requires more extensive modifications to the highway infrastructure.

Conclusion: Automated highway system brings transportation benefits in safety and efficiency for development.
