Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Commercial Vehicle-Operations (CVO). Interstate cooperation for implementation of its-cvo functions: Institutional opportunities and barriers. Phase 1 report. Final report, October 1993-October 1994

The motor carrier industry is looking toward Intelligent Transportation Systems for Commercial Vehicle Operations (ITS-CVO) to increase highway transportation safety and efficiency through streamlining and automation of current processes and improved regulatory enforcement and infrastructure and fleet management enabled by more detailed, accurate, and timely information. These deployments will require some cooperation among states. This report documents the results of the first phase of project that identifies long-range institutional issues that could empede multi-state cooperation for development and deployment of ITS-CVO among seven midwestern states and offers possible approaches for mitigating such issues.
