Trajectory Design And Implementation Of Longitudinal Maneuvers On AHS Automated And Transition Lanes

In this report, the authors present a modified safe join trajectory for the regulation layer maneuvers of the hierarchical PATH Automated Highway System (AHS) architecture. This new design presents a more conservative behavior for the controlled platoon in a maneuver. The new trajectory reduces the chance of having a collision when the platoon ahead applies and holds maximum braking.
