Mobility 2000 is pleased to provide this report which is a more detailed account of the national IVHS program developed at the Mobility 2000 IVHS National Workshop held in Dallas, Texas on March 19-21, 1990. A primary source of information for the workshop were five papers developed by national Mobility 2000 Working Groups which outlined background positions and recommendations in five key areas during the Fall of 1989. The IVHS program has received rapid and substantial national support because it is based on serious operational needs and the evolving opportunities afforded by modem systems and technologies, especially in communications and control. Several key individuals and organizations became an informal core group for examining these issues and opportunities. Mobility 2000 formally evolved in 1988 from earlier activities and provided an informal, flexible and singularly focused forum for developing what has become known as IVHS. Mobility 2000 rapidly emerged nationally and internationally as a unique and vital entity which provided the networking and common direction supportive of national program development efforts. With this report, Mobility 2000 completes its national activities. It is extremely pleased to have performed a major national role in establishing consensus for the Intelligent Vehicle Highway System program. Through its volunteer participants, Mobility 2000 became the focal point of IVHS activities which established broad support and agreement on the vision, goals and approach of a national program. A highlight was Mobility 2000's unique blend of public, private, and academic interests, informal working relationships and commitment to common objectives. |
