摘要: |
Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) have the potential to substantially change transportations impact on urban air quality and other environmental aspects. Whether this impact is positive, however, depends on how these technologies are deployed. This report presents the findings of a study begun in 1993 to explore the public policy issues related to the environmental impacts of IVHS. The study was conducted by the State and Local Policy Program of the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota and funded through a cooperative agreement with the Federal Highway Administration. The study focused on finding new models for cooperation among federal, state and local institutions that would ensure deployment of IVHS technologies in a manner that minimizes the negative impacts and maximizes the positive impacts on urban air quality and the broader environment. To identify these new models of cooperation, the State and Local Policy Program used three case studies and commissioned a series of papers for a national policy conference. The studies and the models of cooperation that were identified through them will be discussed later in the report. |
