Some concepts towards the optimum movement of vehicles on highways are presented. It is stressed that in proper perspective, the private automobile is one element of several modes of transportation. The modal mix in the long run is determined by proper land use planning, population density, and historic growth patterns. Discussion investigates the two main interacting elements of the highway in the dynamic state: the roadway and the driver operated vehicle, noting that the inefficiencies of the system are caused by the uncoordinated and disassociated actions of the two elements. Also discussed are vehicle operations on streets, highways, and freeways, on board communication, control, and guidance, systems considerations and traffic management, and benefits of optimized vehicle operations on roadways.
