Apparently the principal impetus for IVHS is not that of improving safety on the USA highway transportation network, but rather to increase mean operating speed and to increase highway capacity, thus allowing higher volumes without a comparable increase in congestion. Under historical circumstances, such changes would result in more accidents rather than fewer, and since it is politically difficult to advocate enhanced mobility at the expense of safety, therefore IVHS must necessarily be concerned with the safety implications of measures implemented to improve traffic movement. The report presents some questions as to what might be the expected effect on safety if some of the basic IVHS goals are met.
