B -- NATIONAL AUTOMATED HIGHWAY SYSTEMS CONSORTIUM PARTNERSHIPS SOL 95AHSSOLP003 DUE 050195 POC Contact Point, Kurt Goddard, (810) 816-3402 The National Automated Highway System Consortium (NAHSC) is seeking partnerships with sources of technology, concepts, and analyses to be used in developing a prototype automated highway system. We invite you to provide information concepts, products or services that you culd supply. Please respond in written form only. The NAHSC is a collaboration of private industry firms, universitites, and state DOT's operating in a cooperative agreement with the USDOT. The Core Members in the NAHSC are Bechtel, Caltrans, Carnegie Mellon University, Delco Electronics, General Motors, Hughes, Martin Marietta, Parsons Brinckerhoff, University of California at Berkeley the PATH Program, and USDOT. The task of the NAHSC is to analyze alternate Automotive Highway Systems (AHS) concepts; demonstrate AHS capabilities in 1997; develop and test a prototype AHS; and develop specifications for future AHS implementation. The Automated Highway System is being developed as a potential next generation component of the U.S. ground transportation system. Our goal is to provide an evolutionary path, beginning with advanced crash avoidance feature, progressing through partial vehicle control, and concluding with fully automated operation of private, public, and commericial vehicles. The AHS will provide substantially greater capacity, safety, and user convenience. While some of the analyses and prototype technology will be developed within the Consortium, we plan to acquire a considerable amount of technology and services from outside the Consortium, so there is significant opportunity for others to participate. We are interested in a broad spectrum of areas, including, but not limited to, those listed in the attachment to this annnouncement. Organizations and/or individuals interested in participating in any of these aspects of the AHS program are requested to: (1) identify their area of interest according to the code described below, (2) provide a brief (1-2 page) descript8ion of the product, service, analysis or research they are interested in providing, and (3) a statement of qualifications. These may be accompanied by supporting materials such as product and company brochures. We will use this information to help us in the needs assissment phase of the (0061)
