• Abstract:
  This report documents policy considerations for Enabling Advanced Traveler Information Services, or EnableATIS. ; EnableATIS is the traveler information element of the Dynamic Mobility Applications program, and it provides a framework to ; develop multi-source, multimodal data into new advanced traveler information applications and strategies. ; The policy team has documented four policy issues for EnableATIS, none of them high-priority. In conclusion, the policy ; team finds that additional policy research, outreach, and other steps may be needed, including investigation of public-private partnerships to broaden the reach and improve the effectiveness of ATIS implementation. In summary, the four ; issues and recommended next steps include: ; • Inequitable distribution of ATIS and other connected vehicle functionality may need to be evaluated for the level of potential ; impact on underserved populations. ; • Driver distraction—an issue shared by many connected vehicle applications—is among the central concerns of connected ; vehicle policy research. Analysis is currently under way by USDOT and industry experts. ; • Data integration may result from market forces or from standards development organizations becoming involved in the ; ATIS application market. The USDOT may choose to provide support if the private sector is motivated to work with public ; agencies. ; • Similarly, tools for providing ATIS data to transportation management centers may evolve if private-sector stakeholders are ; motivated to work with USDOT towards greater system-wide efficiency and effectiveness. ; Based on the results of this analysis, the policy team does not foresee a need for any new policies to be enacted or any major ; issues that will stand in the way of successful private sector ATIS development.
