چکیده

This paper evaluates the potential travel time savings from Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) that provide drivers with travel time and routing information. We classify ATIS in various levels based on the type of information they use to generate guidance and the timing of the dissemination of the generated guidance to drivers. We present a case study that examines the potential travel time savings of ATIS as well as the implications on travel time variability and reliability and the sensitivity of the results to the accuracy of the information, using real-world data collected from a freeway network in Los Angeles, California.
