Abstract

Intelligent vehicle/highway systems (IVHS) is an ambitious multi-year, multi-billion research/demonstration program which aims at improving the vehicle/highway system operation and management techniques for the post-interstate construction era. This paper begins with an introduction of the framework of IVHS which has four major components: (1) advanced traffic management system (atms); (2) advanced traveler information system (ATIS); (3) commercial vehicle operations (CVO); and (4) advanced vehicle control systems (AVCS), and emphasizes the ATMS-related research and development plans to support the real-time traffic management systems and control strategies. The paper then reviews the state-of-the-art traffic engineering modeling software currently available from FHWA. The paper concludes by outlining the work that needs to be done in order to fully support the IVHS program. Japanese Ministry of Construction and OECD/Road Transport Research Programme held the seminar on "future road transport systems and infrastructures in urban areas" in Chiba, Japan on 4th - 6th June 1991 sponsored by the Japanese organizing committee.
