The Conference Report on the FY 1989 Department of Transportation Appropriations Act directs the Secretary of Transportation to report to the Congress on Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems (IVHS). The report, which responds to that mandate, assesses ongoing European, Japanese, and U.S. IVHS research initiatives; analyzes the potential impacts of foreign IVHS programs on the introduction of advanced technology for the benefit of U.S. highway users and on U.S. vehicle manufacturers and related industries; and makes appropriate legislative and programmatic recommendations. The report describes what an IVHS is, and why there has been growing interest in the development and use of IVHS technologies to improve the safety and efficiency of the highway system. It describes various IVHS technologies and discusses how each of them could affect highway travel, as well as the major European and Japanese programs dealing with them. The benefits of IVHS technologies were adopted in the U.S. are also described.
