• Abstract:
  Florida 511 (FL511) is Florida’s main system for public travel information. Despite extensive, live coverage of travel conditions on interstates, the FL511 Web site only provides users with links to transit system Web sites. Alerts, delivered only via text message, email, or phone call, are sent for a few interstates and major roads in Florida; they can be so numerous that useful information is lost; and accessing these messages while driving is hazardous. Researchers at the University of South Florida investigated improving FL511, focusing on information delivery that is pertinent, timely, and customized to individual travel behavior.
