• Abstract:
  The Federal Highway Administration has recognized the need to take a comprehensive look at the information requirements and decisionmaking processes of travelers across a range of nonrecurring events. The goal of this study was to review and synthesize information about travelers’ information needs and current practices for information dissemination related to nonrecurring events. Researchers identified, reviewed, and synthesized academic literature, practitioner reports, and best practices for information provision related to nonrecurring events. This report discusses user needs, best practices, data collection and information dissemination technologies, and knowledge gaps. Case studies and information dissemination strategies are also provided.
