Use of in-vehicle information system (IVIS) applications is likely to remain low in New Zealand without proper education, despite drivers' belief in their safety benefits.

For safety oriented IVIS applications to give drivers useful information without overly distracting them, they must be designed effectively. Overall, these systems should be easy to see, require…

Rapid deployment of DSRC for connected vehicles can save thousands of lives, regardless of whether a later transition to C-V2X proves advantageous.

FINDINGS   The baseline scenario for the analysis assumed that a decision to wait for C-V2X would result in a delay of 5 years (3-year and 7-year delays are also analyzed). For the 5-year…
