Description: This report summarizes the current state of the art in cooperative vehicle-highway automation systems in Europe and Asia based on a series of meetings, demonstrations, and site visits, combined with the results of literature review. This review covers  systems that provide drivers with a range of automation capabilities, from driver assistance to fully automated driving, with an  emphasis on cooperative systems that involve active exchanges of information between the vehicles and the roadside and  among separate vehicles. The trends in development and deployment of these systems are examined by country, and the  similarities and differences relative to the U.S. situation are noted, leading toward recommendations for future U.S. action.  The Literature Review on Recent International Activity in Cooperative Vehicle-Highway Automation Systems is published separately as FHWA-HRT-13-025.
