An Advanced Traveler Information System for a Regional Tourist Area in Florida
Publication: Traffic and Transportation Studies (2000)
Abstract
As a famous vocation attraction site in Florida, the area of Longboat Key, Siesta Key, Anna- Maria, Holmes Beach, and Bradenton Beach is facing severe traffic congestion. Traditional solutions may not be cost-effective and may have negative impacts on environments. As an alternative, intelligent transportation system (ITS) technologies can provide this area with tools to improve traffic conditions. An advanced traveler information system (ATIS) was proposed and designed to help travelers in the area to better use the facility so that travelers can optimize their travel by selecting departure time, travel destinations, transportation modes, and routes. The project focused on architecture design and system design with the considerations of special social/economic activities in the local area.
