Intelligent Vehicle/In-Vehicle The mission of the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI) is to accelerate the development and availability of advanced safety and information systems applied to all types of vehicles. Driver error is cited as the primary cause in about 90 percent of all police-reported crashes involving passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses; therefore, IVI’s primary goal is to help drivers operate vehicles more safely and effectively with technologies integrated to create a fully intelligent vehicle that works cooperatively with the driver. IVI advocates the creation of smart vehicles that fully consider the driver’s requirements, capabilities, and limitations. IVI is a multi-agency research and development effort. The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office provides a focal point for the ongoing vehicle-related ITS projects of FHWA, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and Federal Transit Administration. These projects have collectively investigated the human factors, user acceptance and technical development of individual driver information systems, advanced collision-avoidance and vehicle safety systems, and automated highway systems. By coordinating activities among DOT’s agencies, IVI captures synergies in research and economizes its resources.
