Abstract	This summary report summarizes the activities and results of a preliminary human factors review for the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI) program. As part of the IVI program, the Federal Highway Administration funded a project to investigate the human factors issues for an IVI and identify human factors "research needs" that currently exist. The objective of the project was to help the United States Department of Transportation identify human factors work that needs to be done early in the life-cycle of the IVI program to ensure safe and well-engineered vehicles. This project was comprised of two major activities. First, a "Preliminary IVI Human Factors Technology Workshop" was conducted to draw together the stakeholders in the IVI program and define the technologies and the human factors issues that need to be considered in developing an IVI. Second, the project team investigated the preliminary infrastructure and human factors in-vehicle requirements for alternative configurations of an IVI. The data collected during the Human Factors IVI Workshop served as a basis for human factors research needs that were identified.
