The Japanese government has been conducting IVHS (intelligent vehicle-highway systems) projects on ATMS (advanced traffic management systems), ATIS (advanced traveller information systems) and AVCS (advanced vehicle control systems). In the spring of 1996, VICS (vehicle information and communication system) started a driver information service including dynamic route guidance, and ASV (advanced safety vehicle) aiming at active safety for passenger cars had demonstrations. Experiments related to automated highway systems have been conducted since 1995 on a test track and an expressway. Cooperative driving, with inter-vehicle communication, was tested in the spring of 1997. Besides the government projects, navigation systems have become widespread, and inter-vehicle distance warning systems for trucks and an intelligent cruise control system for passenger cars have become commercially available.
