The study identifies the domain of research on Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems (IVHS) that might be proper to the interests of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of medium and heavy duty trucks. Interviews of engineering and marketing persons employed by truck manufacturing companies serve to indicate the current OEM perspective on IVHS. Based upon the combined considerations of what we might call 'the culture' of the truck specification-and-purchase process, the technological opportunities, and the general environment for IVHS in the United States, a rationale for truckmaker research is developed.
