SmartAHS is a framework for specification, simulation and evaluation of Automated Highway Systems. SmartAHS is developed using the SHIFT programming language and environment.
The section on SmartAHS Project Run Tutorials will help a SmartAHS user to download, initialize and execute predefined SmartAHS simulations. Also, instructions on how to define new SmartAHS projects are included in the section SmartAHS Project Creation. Models for the SmartAHS components are described in SmartAHS Model Libraries. The SmartAHS site contains additional information found in documents on the SHIFT language, SmartAHS design, and results of past studies.
TkShift is the graphical user interface for SmartAHS. Both SHIFT and TkShift must be installed in addition to one of the SmartAHS projects. Instructions will be given for different OS environments whenever possible. User's Manuals are available for SHIFT and TkShift also.
The SmartAHS libraries are protected under the UC Berkeley copyright. However, California PATH would like to maintain control over the content of the SmartAHS libraries in order to provide as much of a comprehensive and consistent framework as possible. Hence we invite all the users to conform to the current setup and promptly to inform PATH of desired changes to either the overall structure or specific parts of the of the SmartAHS libraries.
