Abstract:In early 1993, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) initiated a comprehensive study of rural applications of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS). The study objectives are to guide federal programs with respect to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies in rural and small urban areas and to provide guidelines for ATIS implementation by state and local governments to meet rural travelers? needs. This pamphlet is one of a series of pamphlets summarizing preliminary findings of the study. It briefly describes some preliminary concepts identified in response to the information needs of travelers in rural and small urban areas. Based on the results of the evaluation of these concepts, and recommendations of the expert panel members, a limited number of these concepts will be selected for further analysis. A detailed system analysis will then be conducted for each of the selected concepts. The analysis will include discussions of institutional, legal, and technical issues, national implications of each concept, and identification of possible initial application sites. Finally, work plans will be developed for each wnoncept, detailing specific work activities required for deployment of each concept. Work activities will fall into three basic categories of actions: illustrative deployment/operational test, prototyping, and research and development. 4 p. : ill.
