ATMS06-Traffic Information Dissemination (Market Package*)

Market Package Graphic       Transaction Set Diagram

Description

This market package provides driver information using roadway equipment such as dynamic message signs or highway advisory radio. A wide range of information can be disseminated including traffic and road conditions, closure and detour information, incident information, and emergency alerts and driver advisories. This package provides information to drivers at specific equipped locations on the road network. Careful placement of the roadway equipment provides the information at points in the network where the drivers have recourse and can tailor their routes to account for the new information. This package also covers the equipment and interfaces that provide traffic information from a traffic management center to the media (for instance via a direct tie-in between a traffic management center and radio or television station computer systems), Transit Management, Emergency Management, and Information Service Providers. A link to the Maintenance and Construction Management subsystem allows real time information on road/bridge closures due to maintenance and construction activities to be disseminated.

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. The equitable distribution of basic traffic information through Dynamic Message Signs and Highway Advisory Radio implemented through this Market Package provides immediate benefit to the traveling public using established technologies and without the need for new standards or investment in new in-vehicle equipment. The implementations represented by this Market Package have been, and will continue to be, judiciously deployed as the technical and non-technical challenges of more advanced en-route driver information systems are addressed.
