About this book

Experts address some of the main issues and uncertainties associated with the design and deployment of Automated Highway Systems (AHS). They discuss new AHS concepts, technology, and benefits, as well as institutional, environmental, and social issues - concerns that will affect dramatically the operation of the current highway system from both the vehicle and infrastructure points of view.

Reviews

`The breadth and depth of research is evident here, as is the high quality of academic researchers and industry professionals who have ably contributed to highway automation.`
