By means of vehicle automation considerable improvement in highway capacity and highway safety can be achieved. An automated highway system is described to some detail. Chapter I give some motives. Chapter II deals with requirements and premises. In Chapter III two possible longitudinal control systems are compared. Chapter IV gives a description of a representative system. This system is a road oriented one. To some extent is dealt with information transmission rabbit keeping and car control systems. An economic evaluation of the representative system has been made. A simulation of an automated vehicle is performed on an analog computer.
