ATIS02-Interactive Traveler Information (Market Package*)

Market Package Graphic       Transaction Set Diagram

Description

This market package provides tailored information in response to a traveler request. Both real-time interactive request/response systems and information systems that "push" a tailored stream of information to the traveler based on a submitted profile are supported. The traveler can obtain current information regarding traffic conditions, roadway maintenance and construction, transit services, ride share/ride match, parking management, detours and pricing information. Although the Internet is the predominate network used for traveler information dissemination, a range of two-way wide-area wireless and fixed-point to fixed-point communications systems may be used to support the required data communications between the traveler and Information Service Provider. A variety of interactive devices may be used by the traveler to access information prior to a trip or en route including phone via a 511-like portal and web pages via kiosk, personal digital assistant, personal computer, and a variety of in-vehicle devices. This market package also allows value-added resellers to collect transportation information that can be aggregated and be available to their personal devices or remote traveler systems to better inform their customers of transportation conditions. Successful deployment of this market package relies on availability of real-time transportation data from roadway instrumentation, transit, probe vehicles or other means. A traveler may also input personal preferences and identification information via a “traveler card” that can convey information to the system about the traveler as well as receive updates from the system so the card can be updated over time.

Early Deployment

This market package has been identified as an early deployment due to a promising combination of low risk implementation characteristics, developing public or private markets for the package, and tangible system or user benefits. This package is a foundation for interactive ATIS and provides the interconnects for the two-way interchange. Examples of current usage are kiosks, telephone, and as an emerging information provider for on-line services and the Internet. Stated-preference surveys indicate that pre-trip access to information through these existing access mechanisms will be well received. More advanced implementations which seamlessly cater to the mobile traveler with en-route information require additional standards work.
