| Project Description: | The Atlanta Traveler Information System (TIS) project provides timely transportation information to travelers in the Atlanta metropolitan area through the use of Personal Communication Devices (PCDs), in-vehicle navigation devices, on-line computer information services, interactive television in selected hotels, and cable television. This information is available to both residents and visitors for trip planning purposes. The project was operational before, during, and after the 1996 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. The TIS includes information on multimodal travel options, including bus, rail and air travel. The TIS also includes an extensive public information campaign. The Showcase project successfully transferred all of the devices to the Georgia DOT for incorporation as legacy devices in the Statewide ITS. The Personal Communication Devices and the in-vehicle navigation devices are the only devices that are currently not being supported. | |
