PROCEEDINGS OF A WORKSHOP ON INTELLIGENT VEHICLE/HIGHWAY SYSTEMS BY MOBILITY 2000. SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, FEBRUARY 15-17, 1989

These proceedings represent the views of those who participated in the San Antonio, Texas, Workshop of Mobility 2000. They describe the current views on major goals for a national program to apply advanced technology to the operational needs of the highway system. Advanced technology involving communications, computers, displays, and control processes is necessary for developing Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS). The IVHS are grouped into four generic elements: Advanced Transportation Management Systems (ATMS); Advanced Driver Information Systems (ADIS); Automated Vehicle Control (AVC); and Commercial Operations. Work on IVHS is being accelerated. U.S. work in this field is essential to avoid further erosion of American world leadership in technology. IVHS can address the urgent problems of urban congestion and highway safety. Technology is available that can improve efficiency and increase safety. The implementation and future improvement of IVHS holds promise for addressing the most crucial highway problems.
