Abstract

This study evaluates the performance and effectiveness of the Smart Traveler Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS). The project is designed as a field operational test of three different media approaches for providing traveler information: fully automated telephone systems, automated multi-media touch screen kiosks, and PC via modem. The program is evaluated in terms of technical function, cost, user response and overall effectiveness.
