• Abstract:
  In recent years, public and private sponsors of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems
  
  (IVHS) have recognized the need to assess the impacts of IVHS user services on air
  
  quality and energy use. This interest has been reinforced by the mandates of the Clean
  
  Air Act Amendments of 1990, the Intermodal Surface Transportation and Efficiency Act
  
  of 199 1, as well as the desire to strengthen benefit-cost and air quality analyses.
  
  The IVHS operational tests play a key role in the transition between research and
  
  development of new technologies and wide-scale deployment of IVHS user services. To
  
  date, the evaluation plans for most of the field tests have focused on important concerns
  
  of technical feasibility and user response. However, there remains significant, untapped
  
  potential for leveraging these tests to evaluate environmental impacts. In particular,
  
  empirical data gathered from field tests would greatly complement the use of models to
  
  assess the air quality and energy implications of wide-scale deployment.
