The Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS) program is a major new national program which has dramatically come of age in the last five years. Internationally, similar events have also occurred in both Japan and Europe. However, what may be suspected, but not be well known, is the substantial historical context or roots from which IVHS evolved. These roots include early research activities by university and industry and a substantial research program similar to IVHS which was undertaken in the 1960's by the federal government. They also include a changing national context during the 1980's which increasingly encouraged an IVHS program. Finally, they include certain key actions which, looked at from today's vantage point, turn out to be important strategic building blocks in this most recent, highly successful establishment of the IVHS program.
