and Efficiency

ABSTRACT
At the forefront of intelligent
vehicle technologies are vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V) and
vehicle-infrastructure integration (VII). Their capabilities can be
added to currently-available systems, such as adaptive cruise control
(ACC), to drastically decrease the number and severity of collisions, to
ease traffic flow, and to consequently improve fuel efficiency and
environmental friendliness. There has been extensive government,
industry, and academic involvement in developing these technologies.
This paper explores the capabilities and challenges of vehicle-based
technology and examines ways that policymakers can foster implementation
at the federal, state, and local levels.
