Summary
This document outlines the governance structure established by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office to facilitate the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI). The framework is designed to coordinate research and development efforts among government agencies, vehicle manufacturers, and infrastructure stakeholders to accelerate the deployment of crash avoidance and driver information systems. The structure comprises four distinct components: the Enabling Research and Development group, the Infrastructure Consortium, Research and Operational Testing, and the Federal Advisory Committee. The Enabling Research and Development group serves as a forum for pre-competitive collaboration between industry and government, focusing on goals expected to be deployed within 5–10 years. Membership is restricted to vehicle Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with a World Manufacturer Identifier, requiring substantial financial contributions. This group’s activities are executed through the Crash Avoidance Metrics Partnership (CAMP), originally formed by Ford and General Motors in 1995. In 1999, CAMP submitted a proposal involving DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Navigation Technologies, and Toyota to conduct three specific projects addressing driver acceptance: Forward Collision Warning Requirements, which examines alert functions in complex crash scenarios; Driver Workload Metrics, which develops measures for visual and cognitive demand to guide interface design; and Enhanced Digital Maps, which explores using digital map data as a supplementary sensor for driver assistance systems. The Infrastructure Consortium represents government stakeholders, including state and local agencies, responsible for planning and maintaining highway infrastructure. This group supports vehicle-infrastructure cooperation, specifically targeting intersection and roadway departure collisions. Operating as an FHWA Vehicle Regional Pooled Fund Study, it allows states to combine resources, such as State Planning & Research funds, to support common research interests. At the time of publication, California and Minnesota were members, with other states considering participation. USDOT coordinates its broader research agenda with this consortium to define joint research programs. Research and Operational Testing provides USDOT with the flexibility to conduct independent studies or cooperative agreements not covered by the other groups, ensuring public interest objectives are met. Examples include rear-end field tests and benefits assessments. Finally, the Federal Advisory Committee utilizes ITS America to gather stakeholder advice. Working groups report to an IVI Steering Group, which formulates annual recommendations on technical and policy matters. These recommendations are transmitted to USDOT, timed to align with the federal budget cycle to maximize impact.
