Commercial Trucks and Buses in Automated Highway Systems

  • Chapter
Automated Highway Systems

Abstract

As indicated throughout this volume, research and development on Advanced Vehicle Control Systems (AVCS) for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Automated Highway Systems (AHS) to date has been primarily focused on passenger vehicles,(1–3) while commercial heavy vehicles (CHVs) such as heavy-duty freight trucks (including tractor—trailer combinations) and commuter buses have been largely ignored. The obvious justification is that there are many more passenger vehicles on the road, and thus their automation will have the largest possible impact on the desired increase of highway traffic flow.
