Abstract :
Advanced electronics is being used to unclog the transportation network and allow private vehicles, trucks, buses and trains to move further faster. already a range of technologies and ideas have been explored, deployed, and tested as part of the Intelligent Vehicle Highway System programs in the United States and Japan, and in the Road Transport Informatics program in Europe. The authors describe how these latest electronics for automobiles and roadways herald far fewer traffic jams, greater safety, and perhaps even a decline in pollution.<>
