Project 17.3
Benefits of Traveler Information Provided by DOTs
The North/West Passage states understand that it can be challenging to quantify and document traveler information benefits. However, the members were interested in understanding traveler information benefits to assist in determining for example future funding needs, deciding which features and functions are most used and beneficial to support allocation of future funds, understanding the impacts of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) on traveler information, and responding to inquiries about the need for public traveler information systems when there are third-party traveler information systems available to the traveling public. The purpose of this project was to research approaches towards quantifying or describing the benefits of traveler information provided by DOTs.
