Several issues must be addressed when establishing intelligent vehicle-highway system (ivhs) communication standards, particularly for the most advanced of these systems, the advanced vehicle control system (avcs). Each of the three stages of avcs evolution have separate issues that must be addressed in order to define communication standards. It is recommended that measured progress toward the development of ivhs communication standards be based on a solid foundationso that they do not risk becoming impediments to progress. Given the current state of development of ivhs technology, more questions are raised than are answered.
