Intelligent Vehicle and Highway Systems (IVHS) presents a unique opportunity for improving
multimodal transport network systems interface and coordination. One of the most significant aspects
is the opportunity it presents for fully integrated transport systems to better integrate and
thus improve total systems operation and usage (i.e., passenger ridership or goods movement).
By ensuring that appropriate advanced technology applications are identified and implemented
by transport suppliers, users would have substantially improved information about service frequency,
arrival times, cost, etc., and thus, would be in a better-informed position to consider
alternative modes of transport.
