Abstract :
The achievement of safe and efficient longitudinal control is probably the most significant technical problem associated with individual automated-vehicle transport systems such as PRT, dual-mode, and the automatic highway. Several aspects of such control are of concern here: the specification of a realistic model of vehicle longitudinal dynamics; the use of those dynamics in the design of a vehicle controller to meet specifications typical of those for future systems; and the implementation and full-scale testing of the designed controller.
