The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is committed to Virginia PROGRESS, which is a program for Intelligent Vehicle-Highway System (IVHS) research, development, and deployment. This document, VDOT's IVHS Strategic Plan, will guide the Department in Virginia PROGRESS. It is organized in the following chapters: (1) Strategic Assessment; (2) IVHS Overview; and (3) Strategic Plan. Chapter 1 discusses IVHS solutions to surface transportation needs and ongoing IVHS activities in VDOT. Chapter 2 examines the five functional areas of IVHS that have emerged in recent years. These areas are: Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS), Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS), Advanced Vehicle Control Systems (AVCS), Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS), and Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO). Finally, Chapter 3 provides details of the Strategic Plan.

Intelligent vehicle-highway systems (IVHS) have the potential to improve the performance of the Nation's transportation system. These technologies apply to all transportation modes that use streets and highways. This report, called for in Section 6054(d) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, discusses whether nontechnical and institutional factors raise substantial barriers to the development and deployment of IVHS in the United States. The report is based upon results of research studies and comments from members of the IVHS community, State and local governments, universities, private parties, and public interest groups.
