IVHS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: IMPLICATIONS OF THE OPERATIONAL TESTS
In recent years, public and private sponsors of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) have recognized the need to assess the impacts of IVHS user services on air quality and energy use. Presently, the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center is investigating the evaluation goals and methods of the major domestic and international operational tests to gauge the state-of-the-practice for appraising environmental impacts. To date, the Volpe Center has identified approximately forty field tests with environmental evaluation objectives. Nearly all of these tests have employed or will use dissimilar methods to address the complex interactions between travel behavior, traffic operations, and the many confounding, exogenous variables that govern vehicular emissions and fuel consumption.
