Feasibility for a New Concept of Integrated Active Transportation Systems

The Integrated Active Transportation System (IATS) is envisioned as a system wherein all vehicles in all modes of transport are seemlessly interrelated, sharing information and actively adapting to both the current local situations, and to the larger system state, and the overall system objectives. In the IATS, collisions would be infrequent, if not impossible, in the same way that people can move effortlessly in many directions through large crowds without collisions and with optimal throughput.
