In 1994, the Coalition initiated the Traveler Information Services (TIS) Project to develop an implementation plan for a Corridor-wide Traveler Information System (CTIS) using state-of-the-art and cost-effective technologies. This system provides a platform to design and develop methods for innovative traveler information collection, fusion and dissemination, while maximizing private-sector participation. The TIS project was initiated to satisfy two major objectives - to develop a conceptual design for an Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) for the I-95 Corridor and to develop a framework for ITS public/private partnerships. The conceptual design focuses upon providing travel information in vehicles, homes, the workplace, public kiosks, and intermodal transfer points. The partnership framework enables the individual members of the I-95 Corridor Coalition to integrate and share information useful to travelers. This information will form the basis of an open architecture that promotes public and private product and service providers access to the jointly developed information. |
