Abstract
Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) seek to apply advanced computer, telecommunication, and information technologies to vehicles, transportation networks and operational plans, in order to relieve traffic congestion, reduce travelers’ journey times, improve safety, reduce atmospheric emissions and energy consumption, and increase the productivity of transportation investment. Using IVHS technologies, vehicles and the infrastructure will exchange vast amounts of data back and forth, making possible the warning and avoidance of congestion or hazardous conditions, the automatic collection of tolls, the efficient dispatching of trucks and buses, dramatic improvements in safety and other benefits.
