  • Abstract:
    This Annual Report provides an overview of the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative's (IVI's) progress and accomplishments during fiscal year 2001. The 1998 Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) reauthorized IVI as part of the USDOT's Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) program. Each year more than 41,000 Americans die as a result of 6 million crashes on our Nation's roadways- the equivalent of 115 each day, or one every 13 minutes. Technology offers new safety solutions, but at the same time poses new problems. We must prevent in-vehicle technology from becoming a dangerous driver distraction. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that driver inattention of all sorts caused 20 to 30 percent of the 6.3 million accidents reported in 2000. Because manufacturers ultimately will develop and deploy IVI safety systems in standard vehicle product lines, the motor vehicle industry is a key !VI partner. Fleet operators and State and local transportation agencies are other important stakeholders and partners, who will play a vital role in deployment of IVI services. Four USDOT agencies participate in the IVI: the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) , the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) , and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The USDOT's Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office coordinates the IVI. ITS America coordinates private sector participation in IVI through four steering groups representing the four vehicle platform types (light vehicles, commercial vehicles, transit vehicles, and specialty vehicles).
