Establishing Business Model at Operational Level for Advance Traveler Information System with Systematic Approach and Dynamic Programming

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a systematic approach to develop an Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) business model at operational level. Three major tasks are implemented to achieve such goal: firstly, system analysis approach will be implemented to construct overall system structure where elements for information chain will be identified; secondly, costs of linkage between elements/options across stages for information chain were evaluated in terms of impedance and attractive scores, which were obtained from a designed survey for related ATIS industries. Possible linkages between stages form a multi-stage decision network, which is formulated as Dynamic Programming problem and solved accordingly. The solution of path from initial stage of information chain towards the end stage generates the “optimal” ATIS business model in terms of bundle of service items over entire ATIS data steam.
