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.
