AN ARCHITECTURE FOR A CORRIDOR-WIDE TRAVELER INFORMATION SYSTEM
This paper summarizes the work sponsored by the I-95 Corridor Coalition (I-95 CC) to develop a conceptual design and to identify public/private partnership opportunities for a Corridor-wide Traveler Information System (CTIS). The system will support the various regions of the Corridor by providing information about any point, from any other point within the Corridor. The recommended physical architecture of the I-95 CTIS encompasses five Regional Traveler Information Centers (RTICs), reflecting the Corridor's five well-defined, consolidated regions. Each RTIC functions as a clearinghouse to support real-time, actionable, multi-modal traveler information access to meet the unique interregional needs of the Corridor and its users.
