INTELLIGENT VEHICLE INITIATIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT

The aim of the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI) is to accelerate the development and availability of advanced safety and information systems for a variety of vehicle types. Public transit, through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), is an active participant in the IVI program. While substantial transit benefits are anticipated through the application of IVI technologies, additional information was necessary to establish baseline transit needs, expected Transit IVI benefits, and Transit IVI research priorities. This needs assessment was conducted to identify and prioritize transit industry requirements and problems with solutions involving IVI technologies. This report provides main recommendations; needs assessment rationale; data sources and information gathering; FTA goals; issues of concern; technologies; and additional data requiremants and operational tests.
