The Intelligent vehicle initiative Where the metropolitan, Commercial vehicle and Rural program areas are focused primarily on the ITS infrastructure, the intelligent vehicle initiative aims to accelerate the development and availability of advanced safety and information systems applied to all types of vehicles. The goal is to integrate driver assistance and motorist information function so that vehicles operate more safely and effectively. The intelligent vehicle initiative covers applications for passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, buses and specialized vehicles such as snowplows. Other special application to emergency response, law enforcement and highway maintenance vehicle are also included. Many of these applications are based on ongoing and recently completed research on crash avoidance, in vehicle safety and automated highway systems. Continuing research on human factor, and advanced driver warning and vehicle control systems are a major thrust of the intelligent vehicle initiative. This initiative seeks to bring together public and private stakeholders to ensure that in-vehicle systems are technologically, socially, institutionally and economically viable. Partnership with the motor vehicle industry and its suppliers, states, government organizations, academic institutions and other interested parties are being aggressively pursued. THE BENEFITS
