Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems


Book Description

This issue contains 15 papers concerned with intelligent vehicle highway systems (IVHS). Specific topics include: a benefits assessment framework; advanced traffic management and traveler information system architectures; safety; achievable capacities and stream stability; autonomous intelligent cruise control; automatic speed monitors; and roadway electrification in a high-occupancy-vehicle facility. Additional topics include: lateral guidance system in high occupancy vehicle lanes; real-time driver guidance; sequential route choice under an advanced traveler information system; network performance under system optimal and user equilibrium dynamic assignments; real-time IVHS applications; communications architecture; integration of machine vision and adaptive control; and advanced traffic controller software.

Book Description

Abstracts added to the Transport Research Laboratory's Library Database on intelligent transportation systems between 1993 and 1996.




Nontechnical Constraints and Barriers to Implementation of Intelligent Vehicle-highway Systems


Book Description

Intelligent vehicle-highway systems (IVHS) have the potential to improve the performance of the Nation's transportation system. These technologies apply to all transportation modes that use streets and highways. This report, called for in Section 6054(d) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, discusses whether nontechnical and institutional factors raise substantial barriers to the development and deployment of IVHS in the United States. The report is based upon results of research studies and comments from members of the IVHS community, State and local governments, universities, private parties, and public interest groups.

Department of Transportation's Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems Institutional and Legal Issues Program


Book Description

This document contains project updates for the Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) Institutional and Legal Issues Program. Through focused research, the department hopes to find solutions to specific problems facing IVHS participants and policy makers. The department is taking a careful look at lessons learned in IVHS operational tests and models for IVHS deployment. Analysis is underway to understand the impact and bvenefits IVHS deployment could have on air quality, privacy, user acceptance, and other areas of concern to society at large.
