To improve ground transportation, the United States began a program called the Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS), sometimes called Smart Cars/Smart Roads. One of five IVHS components, the Advanced Vehicle Control Systems (AVCS), envisions autonomous vehicles that drive themselves, following their lane and avoiding other vehicles, all the while receiving routing and road information from an automatic traffic surveillance and planning system. Potentially, computervision can fulfill many of the sensory requirements of mobility and traffic monitoring. The paper presents the vision-based technology for AVCS developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). A testbed vehicle has demonstrated autonomous road following on a test course and on a highway at speeds of up to 90 km/hour under various weather and outdoor light conditions. This paper describes the latest highway tests, the algorithm development for autonomous vision-based car following, and the traffic monitoring system.
