Automating major highways: Automated highway systems could significantly increase capacity, eliminate most crashes and incidents and combine high-speed transit routes with highway rights of way.
A consortium of researchers from universities, government, and industry is developing an automated highway system in which cars drive themselves, communicating with the road and with each other.
11p Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) specifications The DSRC/WAVE standards were created to support vehicle safety and mobility applications such as collision avoidance, traffic congestion management, automated highway systems and in-vehicle driver information.
Department of Transportation's (USDOT) Automated Highway System (AHS) program to "develop an automated highway and vehicle prototype from which future fully automated intelligent vehicle-highway systems can be developed" to demonstrate the vision and technology needed to make highway driving more efficient, safe, and predictable.
