Abstract:The Intelligent vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) program applies advanced and emerging technologies in such fields as information processing, communications, control, and electronics to surface transportation needs. If these technologies can be effectively stimulated, integrated, and deployed, the public will be able to more efficiently use the Nation's highway infrastructure and energy resources by making more informed choices about travel and route alternatives. Successful deployment of IVHS services and systems will achiever improvements in safety, mobility, and productivity, and reduce harmful environmental impacts, particularly those caused by traffic congestion. As described in the National IVHS Program Plan, the IVHS program is focused on the development and deployment of a collection of user serves. Twenty eight inter-related user services have been defined to date as part of the national program planning process. User serves are defined, not along lines of common technologies, but based upon the services or benefits that various users might receive. The serves are in various stages of maturity; some are available today, others will require significant research, development, testing, and advances in technology applications before they are ready for deployment.
