Abstract: The capacity and safety of freeways can potentially be increased substantially if the vehicles are operated in platoons, using automatic longitudinal control systems to maintain very small spacings ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates, via analysis and simulation, the feasibility of a vehicle-follower control system which maintains intervehicular spacings of 30–60 cm within platoons of automated guideway ...

Abstract: This paper describes a method of vehicle-follower longitudinal control which has been developed to enable automated guideway transit (AGT) vehicles to join (entrain) and leave (extrain) trains ...

Abstract: The fundamental lateral performance capabilities of rubber-tired automated guideway transit (AGT) vehicles operating under automatic steering control on exclusive guideways are discussed. Control is ...
