• Abstract:
  This report seeks to build on the exposure that the authors have had during the past two years to ; the thinking of the Japanese and European thought leaders about how Intelligent Transportation ; System (ITS) can contribute toward meeting environmental goals (especially for reducing CO2). ; Carbon reduction has become a central element, and perhaps even THE central element, in the ; planning for future European and Japanese ITS research and development activities. Given the ; amount of thought that has been devoted to how ITS can support environmental goals in these ; other countries, there is an opportunity for the U.S. to learn from our international counterparts and ; to then determine how best to structure a program in the U.S. to complement the international ; activities and to focus on addressing the most important environmental concerns here.
