White
Paper: European Transport Policy for 2010 – Time to Decide
| Of
the many policy papers generated by public entities in Europe, this
White Paper, published September 2001 by the European Commission, has
been referred to many times by our European colleagues with respect to
the future of Advanced Driver Support Systems (ADAS) and Intelligent
Vehicle-Highway Systems (IVHS). Therefore, IVsource decided it would be
valuable to “take a look” and see what implications this paper may
hold for our areas of technical and policy focus relating to intelligent
vehicles.
