The concern of the Automated Highway Systems (AHS) studies is the analysis and evaluation of candidate system concepts to determine their practicality for deployment in the 1990 to 2000 year time frame. The focus of this document is to establish preferred Automated Highway System states and implementation plans through the trade analyses of selected system parameters. The results obtained from these analyses are used to determine whether significant advantages can result from modification of socio-political, economic, operational, and/or deployment parameters without unduly compromising the system measures. In essence, the trade studies are performed to establish the means to reduce costs and improve implementation by determining the sensitivity of the various measures and, subsequently, establishing a set of preferred trade-off states. The results of the trade studies are used as the basis for developing final recommendations for the selection of an AHS concept and implementation plan for system deployment.
