摘要: The project originally was granted funding from the earmark in an application dated June 1, 2000. A revised application received approval on May 19, 2003 to reflect a different proposed implementation of the project, while still achieving the project goal (disseminating real-time traveler information to the public via the SMART Corridors project ATMS website). The original earmarked project was to develop a smart system component of the ATMS that would track Opticom-equipped AC transit buses traveling along the smart corridors and produce forecasted arrival times at upcoming bus stops along the route. This component was named the BAIS, standing for Bus Arrival Information System. Subsequent to the commencement of the SMART Corridors project, AC Transit elected to contract directly with a private provider (NextBus Information Systems, Inc.) to achieve the BAIS functionality. The amended earmark application expanded on the original project goal (just transit-related useful traveler info) by adding general traffic congestion information on the freeway facilities that run parallel to the SMART Corridors projects managed arterials. It did so by adding the real-time information that was already being gathered and distilled by the regional traveler information system (originally TravInfo, now Bay Area 511) to the SMART Corridors ATMS, so that it could also be displayed on that projects website. The TravInfo Project is an Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) program sponsored by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to provide real-time traveler information to San Francisco Bay area travelers.
