How to plan a travel information system for a highway: the Chinese experience

Travel Information System (TIS), which is the early stage of Advanced Traveler System (ATIS), suits the situation in some developing countries for its lower cost and rapid result. China, as one of the developing countries, also has a brilliant prospect in implementing TIS. Therefore, the method of planning a TIS for a highway in China was researched. The return indicates that the plan method can be divided into 11 steps. The operation process of each step was also worked out. This experience can be shared with the designers in the other developing countries. For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
