This activity area report presents a preliminary control systems analysis of each of the Representative System Configurations (RSC's) in terms of expected performance, feasibility, complexity, affect on system safety, roadway capacity, driver involvement, operation, and maintainability. Communication systems and sensors are also discussed in their relation to vehicle control. Tradeoffs are presented for a variety of system configurations to emphasize the options available to the Automated Highway Systems (AHS) designer.
