Design of entry and exit maneuvers for IVHS

Presents design of entry and exit maneuvers for vehicles entering and exiting from automated highway systems (AHS). The authors assume, the traffic on AHS is organized according to the IVHS (intelligent vehicle highway systems) architecture of Varaiya (1993). The authors propose alternative highway configurations for merging and leaving the AHS lanes, either via the transition lane or via dedicated ramps. Communication protocols for coordinating entry and exit maneuvers and lateral and longitudinal control laws to execute these maneuvers are also presented.
