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.

This report documents a study of Institutional and Societal Aspects of Automated Highway Systems (AHS) for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). This study covers one of sixteen activity areas in FHWA's program "Precursor Systems Analysis of Automated Highways." Automated highway systems (AHS) will likely incur the most institutional, legal and societal impediments of any IVHS user service. The basic assumptions for an AHS include a reduction in the level of personal control individual drivers have over their vehicles. Several non-technical, but critical issues have been examined that will help identify and develop the institutional frameworks required to deal with AHS. These issues include vehicle/operator certification, product liability, project financing and the impact of AHS on other transportation services and land use development patterns. This study was based on an integrated "legal-technical" perspective of the institutional and societal aspects of AHS in a systems analysis that is grounded in actual implementation experience. Insight is presented into institutional problems at the state and local level by focusing on planning and operations processes and multi-jurisdictional issues. Potential financing alternatives are examined as well as evolutionary deployment strategies. Recommendations on preferred institutional frameworks for the various AHS concepts are also discussed.

"The Automated Highway System (AHS) program, stepped up in response to the mandate of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) to "develop an automated highway and vehicle prototype from which future fully automated intelligent vehicle-highway systems can be developed," will provide the vision and technology to make highway driving efficient, safe, and predictable"--P. 1.
