Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO); Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS): Summary of National Practice

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has implemented new and improved Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) to the general public, most notably 511 phone and web services. These services are intended to provide real-time information about traffic congestion, construction activity and road/weather conditions primarily to “general” road users such as commuters and longer-distance travelers. As part of an overall policy of facilitating freight movement in Minnesota, Mn/DOT is considering customizing traveler information content or the method of delivery used to better meet the needs of Commercial Vehicle Operators (CVO), in particular, motor carrier operators. As a first step, Mn/DOT is interested in learning from the national experience with CVO ATIS. This report is intended to provide Mn/DOT with a baseline of information to make better decisions about investments in traveler information systems.
