• Abstract:
  As a result of the Federal Register announcement at the end of 1994 which sought a ; broad review of the third draft of the NPP, Mr. Hoy Richards prepared a responsive ; statement to the Federal Highway Administration's Intelligent Vehicle-Highway System ; (IVHS) Docket requesting the inclusion of the highway-rail intersection into IVHS (now ; ITS). Noting that the highway-rail intersection is an intermodal problem and a part of ; the Traffic Management and Intersection Collision Avoidance Systems for both urban ; and rural streets, and that the IVHS Architecture ignored this important part of our ; nation's infrastructure, he recommended the full utilization of ITS technology and the ; developing road train control infrastructure to improve safety at highway-rail crossings ; by having it included in the ITS Architecture Development Project. in a separate action, ; he also prepared and delivered a paper on this subject which became the basis for ; developing the elements for inclusion.
