To be successful in Simultaneous Vehicle and Infrastructure Design (SVID) we must begin with a few specific and well designed projects that are small enough in size and complexity to quickly demonstrate to ourselves and others how the process will work in practice. For example, appropriate technology candidates might easily be found by focusing on the physical interface between the automobile and the highway. Such technologies, both active and passive, might address noise reduction, vibration reduction, and shorter auto stopping distances in all-weather conditions. As we begin to choose initial SVID demonstration technologies, we first need a process that will assure that the right vehicle and infrastructure problems are attacked first. This paper presents ten figures that describe a multi-step methodology for gathering information that ultimately should lead to choosing SVID projects that meet the three selection criteria of (1) being important to both automotive and infrastructure designers, (2) having a high potential for mutual economic benefit, and (3) being challenging professionally as well as highly beneficial to society. |
