A Next Generation Advanced Traveler Information Precursor System (ATIS 2.0 Precursor System) Use Cases Report

Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) have experienced significant growth since their initial inception in the 1990s. Technologies have continued to evolve at a rapid pace, enabling the integration of advanced solutions for traveler information purposes. As a result of the rapid evolution of technologies and tools available, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has initiated new technical initiatives to investigate, plan, develop, design and implement ‘Next Generation’ or ATIS 2.0 solutions. This includes the investigation and design of new systems suitable for the collection and aggregation of traveler intent data for the use by system managers. This Use Cases Report describes the process and results used to identify and document potential use cases where suitably processed traveler data might be used to improve current transportation system management practices. A group of diverse stakeholders provided insight on the potential use of disaggregate traveler itinerary/decision/mode data for enhanced transportation system management. The findings and insights gained in the stakeholder engagement effort included eight (8) draft uses cases, which were further refined into a combined total of five (5) use cases recommended for further analysis. Ultimately, the new ATIS 2.0 Precursor System will advance the state-of-the-practice for ATIS by incorporating traveler intent data to provide congestion prediction systems for use by system managers.
