What are the key challenges in developing IntelliDriveSM? How are they being addressed?
The key strategic challenges at this stage of IntelliDriveSM development include: (1) Resolving remaining technical challenges and testing and determining the actual benefits of applications; (2) Determining whether overall benefits are great enough to warrant deployment, and, if so, how the systems would be deployed; and (3) Addressing public acceptance issues such as maintaining user privacy, and whether the systems in vehicles are effective, safe, and easy to use. Understanding the infrastructure needs and how those could be addressed are core aspects of the research program. The USDOT and its public and private partners are currently developing strategic plans to address these challenges. • The USDOT Strategic Plan for IntelliDriveSM focuses on technical, non-technical, and safety (including human factors), mobility, and environmental applications area research. • The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials has also developed an IntelliDriveSM strategic p
