Emerging Concepts and Products for Intelligent Transportation Systems. Progress Report 1. First Program Year

摘要

This report presents a summary of technical projects initiated during the first year of the Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) program for Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems (IVHS). The IVHS-IDEA program is jointly supported by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). IVHS-IDEA is managed by the National Research Councils Transportation Research Board (TRB) as part of a broader program that includes highway systems (NCHRP-IDEA) and transit systems (Transit-IDEA). The IVHS-IDEA program fosters functional discoveries that would provide radically different and new approaches to intelligent transportation systems. The program focuses on new methods, technologies, processes, and systems for application to IVHS. The IDEA program is open to all individuals within the technical community, including entrepreneurs, small and large businesses, and institutions from the United States and abroad.
