Abstract :
Implementation of the Advanced Cruise-assist Highway System requires rigorous testing of the road sensors, which play a central role in the system, on actual roads to ascertain their vehicle detection characteristics. We evaluated these detection characteristics on actual roads under conditions of poor visibility caused by fog. This report presents an overview of the test results and issues raised for operational deployment of the system.
