Abstract:To the traveling public, the most readily apparent benefit of AZTech is easy access to traveler information. Providing travelers with real value requires that information to be factual, comprehensive and timely. Through AZTech, numerous services are being developed to furnish travelers with fast, accurate information. One feature in particular was designed to put information quite literally at the fingertips of travelers. The AZTech blueprint called for the development of kiosks that would offer up traveler and community information at the touch of a button. The AZTech kiosk employs a hybrid system that offers the best of both worlds. Quick-access information is available through "local" information located on the kiosk's hard drive, and real-time information can be accessed through an Internet connection. The combination technology provides the foundation for a huge reserve of data. And each kiosk is programmed to automatically update the local information stored on its hard drive each night via the Internet.
