摘要：	Advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) analyze and communicate information that can enhance travel efficiency, alleviate congestion, and increase safety. In Texas, tourists (i.e., tripmakers unacquainted with the state) constitute an important user group for ATIS. Given that tourism represents a sizable industry and, consequently, has an enormous impact on the state's economy, technology that enhances the tourist's experience can help sustain this sizable industry. However, such enhancement requires that traveler guidance be adequately provided. While tourists provide the principal users for this study, the development of ATIS is best accomplished by a comprehensive ATIS development approach that considers all possible user types. In this study, a synthesis of pertinent ATIS implementation and field tests, including methodologies for evaluating systems/technologies, was performed. Interviews with district-level staff in Texas were conducted to define the focus issues and the target users within each locality. On-location surveys were conducted and statistically analyzed according to the specific information needs of users. The study identified candidate systems/technologies that match the information needs, technical regulations, legal constraints, and compatibility with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) standards and systems in Texas. Possible public and private sector roles and cost/benefit analyses were performed to identify the leading candidate system/technology alternatives. The study provides recommendations for developing the identified systems and for making necessary guidelines that could facilitate implementation.
