Abstract:The objective of this project was to put a variety of route-oriented real-time and near real-time information together in a single web-based location in a user-friendly format that does not stop at jurisdictional boundary lines (state, district or county lines, for example). This would allow travelers making a trip in or through rural areas to have current travel information on a route-specific basis and across a wide geographic area, customized for a specific origin and destination, which will help them to make their trip more safely and with a minimum of delay. This project focused on a limited geographic area -Caltrans District 1 and District 2, and Oregon - to provide a proof-of-concept of this approach. While this scale of implementation will yield some direct benefits for the selected area, researchers believe that the principal value of this effort is in demonstrating the feasibility and attractiveness of a One-Stop Shop website for real-time route-specific traveler information for rural areas. This report presents the results of work culminating in the development of a prototype website. Project tasks included a review of practice, compilation of concept of operations and website requirements documents, and development of the prototype website.
