Researchers at the University of Michigan’s Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Program are available for media inquiries about new developments related to ” smart” cars, trucks, highways and mass transit systems. Nearly 50 faculty and staff engineers affiliated with the ITS Program are developing and testing:

The ITS Program, formerly known as the U-M Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems (IVHS) Program, began in 1987 as a consortium of industry and government partners organized through the U-M. Since then, the program has received support from the U.S. Department of Transportation and is now one of three national ITS Research Centers of Excellence in the United States.
