Abstract
Urban traffic congestion and air pollution are crucial issues in most metropolitan areas, but are more acute in Southern California than in most other North American regions. The PATH Program at the Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Berkeley and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) have investigated some of the long-term regional impacts that could result from implementation of advanced highway technologies (automation and electrification) in the Los Angeles area. This chapter focuses on the evaluation of mobility impacts of highway automation technologies applied to portions of the Southern California freeway network in 2025.
