Four essential aspects of the longitudinal control of vehicles in an automated, individual-vehicle system are considered: (a) sector-level control; (b) communications between each controlled vehicle and the sector computer; (c) the development of techniques for obtaining extremely accurate estimates of a vehicle's state; (d) the control of each individual vehicle. The emphasis was on the design, development and testing of hardware subsystems essential for implementing these facets in the context of high-speed (to 93 ft/sec or 28 m/s), small time-headway (1-2 sec) operation.
