To be successful, an Automated Highway System (AHS)-engineered system must be compatible with the institutional and social environment in which it is expected to operate. Institutional aspects include such dimensions as relevant organizations and their interactions, the legal and regulatory framework, and the role of politics in the shaping of policy, Societal aspects include such dimensions as the factors that will govern public acceptability, the process by which interested parties are included in decision-making, the potential for beneficial or adverse social and economic consequences, and public perceptions of potential of potential risks and benefits associated with AHS. This task identifies and analyzes the institutional aspects of AHS systems, the societal aspects of AHS systems, and, for each institutional and societal aspect identified, describe potential courses of action for dealing with resulting issues.
