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. As described in the National IVHS Program Plan, the IVHS program is focused on the development and deployment of a collection of user services. Twenty eight inter-related user services have been defined to date as part of the national program planning process. User services are defined, not along lines of common technologies, but based upon the services or benefits that various users might receive. This report describes those IVHS projects that are wholly or partially funded by the Department of Transportation's (DOT) modal administrations, including the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The report is a complement to the National IVHS Program Plan, and is organized to describe those DOT-sponsored activities which support the development of user services, national compatibility planning, deployment, deployment support, and program assessment. |
