This paper is concerned with the development of a digital simulation model for use as a tool in the analysis of the visual quality of a freeway on-ramp. During the process of merging, a driver on an on-ramp is required to assess the dynamic and highly complex traffic situation occurring in the adjacent freeway lane into which he must merge. Vision is the key biomechanism which he has at his disposal to aid him in his merging decision process. The visual part-task is hindered by physical limitations on gross movements of the head due to the muscular structure of the human body;gross horizontal eye movement, or the angular movement of the visual centerline of regard, is consequently constrained. Both the horizontal and vertical visions are further restrained due to the freeway-ramp geometric configurations, as well as to obstructions resulting from the physical dimensions of vehicle. A general model was developed to investigate twelve types of ramp entrance terminals. Freeway and ramp vehicle parameters, as well as driver physiological characteristics, were assigned randomly on the basis of a Gaussian distribution. The freeway traffic flow was generated according to a shifted exponential distribution of intervehicular headways. The component micro-models were formulated on the basis of field investigations and present understanding of traffic flow theory and driver visual physiology. The simulation model was programmed utilizing both open and closed subroutines under the control of a monitor or master program. These programs were coded in the FORTRAN IV and were run on an IBM 7040. Separate routines were prepared for preloading the freeway system with vehicles, generating ramp vehicles with randomly assigned characteristics, determining vertical sight angles, determining horizontal sight angles, and for updating the system. The input information includes freeway traffic volume, means and standard deviations of driver-vehicle parameters, and the freeway-ramp geometric

Without electric power, no space vehicle has utility or purpose. There are many vital functions in a space vehicle which depend upon a continuous supply of reliable electric power: guidance; navigation data computation, reduction, and handling; life support; environmental control; physical measurements acquisition; sensing; attitude control; command and control; communications; etc. Within the power system there are various interfaces of mutual reaction between the source and the consumers of electric power, and these are generally sensitive in nature. These complex and subtle interactions lead to a necessity for elaborate systems engineering in the application of space power supplies. This volume is devoted to the presentation of current technical problems and their solutions and achievements in the engineering of space power systems. It is a systematic compilation of the most pertinent of the papers presented at the AIAA Third Biennial Electric Power Systems conference, September 1-4, 1964, Philadelphia, Pa., all of them reviewed and revised.
