• Abstract:
  This final report provides an overview of the intelligent vehicle initiative's (IVI) progress and accomplishments. Authorized in the 1998 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) as part of the U.S. DOT's Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) program, IVI's mission was to prevent highway crashes and their resulting fatalities and injuries. In support of this mission, the objectives of the program were to prevent driver distraction and facilitate development and deployment of crash avoidance systems. Safety systems researched, developed, and deployed under the IVI Program provide information to drivers, warn of dangerous situations, recommend actions, and/or assume partial control of vehicles to avoid collisions. Research conducted under the IVI Program has catalyzed new initiatives, including the integrated vehicle-based safety systems (IVBSS), cooperative intersection collision avoidance systems (CICAS), and vehicle infrastructure integration (VII). The accomplishments of the IVI program are tied to the efforts made by federal transportation and safety agencies as well as the program's public, private, and academic partners.
