Smart Highways: Challenges Facing DOT's Intelligent Vehicle Highway
Systems Program (Testimony, 06/29/94, GAO/T-RCED-94-253).

The Transportation Department's (DOT) Intelligent Vehicle Highway
Systems Program applies to surface transportation many cutting-edge
technologies, ranging from electronic toll collections to futuristic
fully automated highways. The Intelligent Vehicle Highway System Act of
1991 established a federal program to research, test, and promote the
use of these systems. For fiscal years 1992 through 1994, the program
received its full authorizations, as well as additional appropriations,
for a total of $580 million. This testimony discusses DOT's obligation
of system funds to date, the progress made in implementing system
technologies, and issues that may affect the attainment of system goals.
