The DIRECT Project has been designed specifically to test, in an operational setting, alternative driver-information systems. DIRECT is being undertaken as a national IVHS operational field test and is funded through a public/private partnership between FHWA (50%), MDOT (25%), and several automobile and electronic component manufacturers (25%).
