IVHS (Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems):
Blanket term for a wide array of technologies,
including electronic sensors, computer hardware
and software and radio communications. The
purpose of IVHS is to increase efficiency of use
of existing highways, reducing travel time, fuel
consumption, air pollution and accidents. There
are five functional areas:
o Advanced Public Transportation Systems
(APTS)
o Advance Traffic Management Systems
(ATMS)
o Advance Traveler Information Systems (ATIS)
o Advanced Vehicle Control Systems (AVCS)
o Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO)
A more recently coined term, Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS), encompasses both
IVHS and modes of transportation other than
highway, such as rail.
