NEED TO KNOW : THE RESEARCH FOUND THAT THERE IS CLEAR DEMAND FOR 10 OR 30 MINUTE ATIS UPDATES, BUT MUCH SMALLER DEMAND FOR MOVING TO FIVE SECOND (VIRTUALLY CONTINUOUS) UPDATES
This article describes research which examined user acceptance of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) consumer products and services. The consumer products were placed into three categories: Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS), purpose-dedicated hardware necessary to access that information, and in-vehicle crash avoidance technologies. Focus was then placed on understanding how much travelers value improved traffic and transit information. Preliminary results are reported from surveys of three tests of dynamic in-vehicle navigation (DIVN) systems in Seattle, Chicago and Boston. Factors that were evaluated included: immediacy of information, extent of geographic coverage, and form of presentation.
