Abstract
The goal of this chapter is to develop a framework by which system configurations can be defined for the purpose of Automated Highway System (AHS) cost/benefit analysis. This framework was used in the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Precursor Systems Analyses (PSA) program. This framework was applied to a range of scenarios, to capture benefits and costs on a regional and national basis. The framework reflects risks and uncertainties with respect to such factors as market penetration, construction and vehicle costs, and public acceptance of new facilities.
