Intelligent vehicle-highway systems (IVHS) have the potential to improve the performance of the Nations transportation system. These technologies apply to all transportation modes that use streets and highways including single-occupant automobiles, multi-occupant automobiles, heavy trucks, light trucks, and vans; they also apply to traditional fixed-route bus, innovative demand-responsive bus, and paratransit. There is, however, concern in the IVHS community and among public policymakers that a number of nontechnical and institutional issues could adversely affect the adoption of IVHS technologies. Because of the importance of nontechnical and institutional issues to the Nations IVHS program, Section 6054 (d) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 required the Department of Transportation (DOT) to prepare, in cooperation with the Departments of Commerce and Justice, two special reports on IVHS nontechnical and institutional issues. This document is the first of these reports. In 1996, DOT will prepare a follow-up report that describes the progress that has been made in resolving the issues identified in this report.
