摘要：	In the interest of reducing congestion and making better use of their existing infrastructures, many cities throughout the world have now implemented advanced traveler information systems. These systems are mostly supported by public funds, in the form of either field operational tests or model deployment programs. The purpose of these information systems is not only to benefit travelers but also to stimulate the deployment of privately offered advanced traveler information products and services. The paper describes current trends in the traveler information supply system and the prospect for potential markets for advanced traveler information in the United States and Europe. Alternative revenue models were identified that may be able to support the operation of the newly created traveler information centers in the post-field operational test phase. In the past, public agencies have been reluctant to share traffic management responsibilities with the private sector. However, this study found that the current trend is toward a public-private partnership in the form of a franchised or revenue sharing program. In the United States and Europe, many private entrepreneurs are currently involved in beta testing their products and in assessing the business viability of advanced traveler information services. In Japan, several types of in-vehicle devices are already commercially available to the consumer. The market potential for privately offered advanced traveler information services in the United States and Europe is, however, yet to be determined since consumer purchase behavior for traveler information is largely unknown.
