摘要：	In an effort to make road and weather information more readily available to travelers and maintenance personnel, Montana is implementing the Greater Yellowstone Regional Traveler and Weather Information System (GYRTWIS). This evaluation builds upon and complements the ongoing GYRTWIS evaluation being conducted by Western Transportation Institute/Montana State University. This evaluation investigates the following three areas: System impacts of the 511 telephone system on usage and customer satisfaction; Pavement Thermal Model accuracy; and Case study of the business model, institutional issues, and 511 implementation issues. This document focuses on the methods, baseline results, and conclusions from Phase II of the evaluation. As such, the results and lessons learned reported here are based on the Before (or baseline) data collection effort. The Phase II evaluation of the GYRTWIS project has identified several interesting preliminary findings. The traveler surveys revealed the perceptions of accuracy, availability, usefulness, and understandability of Montana Department of Transportation's road and weather information phone service. Also identified were the traveler information needs and desires, preferences for information dissemination methods, and when the information is wanted. The maintenance personnel survey identified where they get their current weather conditions and forecasts, where they would like to get information, and what types of information is most useful. The GYRTWIS Business Model case study investigated how the services are being funded and where funding for ongoing operations will be obtained. Many of the institutional and implementation challenges identified were typical of other ITS deployments.
