Intelligent vehicle-highway systems (IVHS) have the potential to improve the performance of the Nation's transportation system. These technologies apply to all transportation modes that use streets and highways. This report, called for in Section 6054(d) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, discusses whether nontechnical and institutional factors raise substantial barriers to the development and deployment of IVHS in the United States. The report is based upon results of research studies and comments from members of the IVHS community, State and local governments, universities, private parties, and public interest groups.

This document contains project updates for the Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) Institutional and Legal Issues Program. Through focused research, the department hopes to find solutions to specific problems facing IVHS participants and policy makers. The department is taking a careful look at lessons learned in IVHS operational tests and models for IVHS deployment. Analysis is underway to understand the impact and bvenefits IVHS deployment could have on air quality, privacy, user acceptance, and other areas of concern to society at large.

Abstract: "The use of road traffic as an accepted means of transportation has some unacceptable consequences in the resulting loss of life and damage to the environment. A proposed solution has involved the significant employment of digital computers in vehicles and in traffic equipment, collectively known as Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems (or IVHS), and these are overviewed. This paper discusses the problems introduced by this new technology and describes the work of a European funded project which has examined some of the problems. The European group have [sic] produced a set of proposals for a standard which is concerned with European certification and development of IVHS, and these proposals are summarised."
