SOCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS IN INTELLIGENT VEHICLE-HIGHWAY SYSTEMS. IN: THE INTELLIGENT VEHICLE HIGHWAY SOCIETY OF AMERICA. FIRST ANNUAL MEETING, RESTON, VIRGINIA, MARCH 17-20, 1991

Recent advances in communications and electronic technologies promise to allow significant improvements in the overall efficiency. These advances promise to enable real-time adjustments of traffic to current and predicted travel conditions, more effective trip planning and real-time route selection and improvement in overall road safety. In developing and planning for these systems we need to make assessments about how each of these promises are actually going to pay off. Are there markets for these systems? What are likely barriers to adoption? What policies can be adopted to overcome these barriers? What are the likely impacts of these developments? How will social and institutional considerations impinge on these developments? This paper presents the results of a Delphi survey of experts' opinions on these questions regarding the future development of IVHS in North America.
