Technology Scan of Future Traveler Information Systems and Applications to Georgia

Completed
Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta

This research examines the existing traveler information sources in Georgia and identifies improvements in sensing technology, interagency communication, and developer, business and customer outreach to improve inexpensive access to information and information exchange.  This investigation is being done from the perspective of the new applications for travel information exchange that are now available through wireless communications technologies, and those likely to be available in the near future.  We anticipate two major outcomes from this project.  First, the research will provide an understanding of possible future directions in traveler information systems; and second, the research will identify traveler information strategies that GDOT might consider as part of its ITS program in the state.
