摘要：	This paper presents the results of a study by the United States Department of Transportation Volpe Center to determine the nature and extent of the data gap between the needs of private sector Advanced Traveler Information Service (ATIS) providers, and the public sector data they receive. The study was motivated by the perception that such a data gap exists, and the need for a systematic description of this data gap before plans can be made to resolve it. Defining the data gap problem involves looking at both sides of the issue: the demand for particular types of ATIS data and the availability of the data desired. This paper analyzes private sector data needs, and perceptions of availability and quality. For each issue raised, it examines the extent and characteristics of the problem on a national level, using information on the public sector. To do this, the paper combines results from two different surveys. One of these is a survey of private sector Information Service Providers (ISPs) to understand their data needs and elicit their perspective of the data gap. The survey was conducted by the Volpe Center for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), specifically for the purpose of this paper. The public sector data comes from a series of surveys of state and local public sector agencies that manage the highway and arterial system, respond to traffic incidents, and provide transit service. These surveys were conducted by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the FHWA to create a database of metropolitan ITS deployment in 1999. Data collection and transfer activities of the public agencies relevant to the ATIS data gap were taken from the database for this study.
