This application was identified as a promising rural Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) solution under a project sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the ENTERPRISE program. This summary describes the solution as well as opportunities for expansion into the broader context of rural ITS. More and more agencies are providing some form of traveler or tourist information on Internet web sites. These agencies include states, cities, counties, Chambers of Commerce, and private organizations, for example, associations of innkeepers. Not only is this type of service relatively cheap to provide and maintain from the agency perspective, it is also available at very low cost to the end user, assuming they have access to a PC modem, and the necessary software. Information provided varies widely and can range from general information concerning a state or region through to detailed information about specific accommodations restaurants and parking facilities, for example. |
