Gonzalez-Mohino, Pedro Solomon, Joseph Rawling, Gerald Iris, Ariel Bozic, Claire Publication Date: 08-01-2004 Series: Research Reports Publication Info: California Partners for Advanced Transit and Highways (PATH) Permalink: http://www.escholarship.org/uc/item/7227d024 Abstract: This report presents the results of its performance assessment of the feasibility of applying cooperative vehicle-highway automation systems (CVHAS) to bus transit and freight movements in the metropolitan Chicago area. Cooperative vehicle-highway automation systems are systems that provide driving control assistance or fully automated driving and are based on information about the vehicle's driving environment that can be received by communication from other vehicles or from the infrastructure, as well as from their own on-board sensors.
