Abstract

One of the potentially most prominent applications of Intelligent Transportation Systems technology is the partial or full automation of commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses for freight and passenger transport. The design issues which are particular to these vehicles have largely been ignored thus far, especially issues related to sensor and actuator limitations. Here we address the longitudinal control problem for commercial heavy vehicles, and we present a new class of ranging sensors and a new class of fuel/brake controllers which eliminate or bypass many of these limitations, and can be used in all stages of ITS deployment.
