This bibliography is intended to serve as a guide to sources of
information in Intelligent Transportation Systems. While it focuses
primarily on U.S. and Canadian publications, some international materials
have been included. Emphasis is on current publications, however, some
materials of historical interest have also been included. Although the
term ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) is considered to be the more
current terminology, the term IVHS (Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems)
has been retained and used when appropriate to reflect older publications
of historical significance. <snip>
