Operating agencies and 3rd party wireless service providers in Taiwan, Republic of China (ROC), have been developing a comprehensive traffic information service system covering the urban expressways and arterial transportation facilities. These available traffic information can be used for effective traffic routing and congestion management applications. To support the advanced traveler information service, a "Traffic Data Fusion Process" (TDFP) was developed that is based on both historical and real-time link travel times. This paper describes the design and implementation of automatic computer- assisted procedures or the "Traffic Data Fusion Process," to estimate the updated link-travel-time, select proper incident responses, and construct traffic information messages. The proposed system, currently being developed, can distribute these real-time traffic informations automatically to all users.

Developed as part of the Phoenix AZTechTM national ITS Model Deployment Initiatives (MDI), twenty-three traveler information kiosks have been operational for more than three years. These kiosks were built as part the regional Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) to provide public with useful traveler information, including real-time traffic condition. Recently, an effort was initiated by the Maricopa County Department of Transportation, the lead agency of the AZTechTM program, to examine and assess the traveler information kiosk program in the Phoenix area. This paper summarizes the major findings of the study, including reviews of the procurement and implementation history, basic configuration, operational features, information contents, and usage assessment. Despite the sound design, the average level of usage of the kiosks was found to be less than satisfactory. In addition to the discussions of possible rooms for improvement, a viable alternative to the information kiosks for traveler information dissemination in public locations was also discussed.

The OTN Statewide Transit Trip Planning Project in Oregon began as an idea.

This presentation will address how that idea was developed into realistic options for implementing statewide transit trip planning in Oregon.

CALYPSO is an interoperable electronic ticketing standard open to multi-application environments. It was developed by a group of European partners from the cities of Brussels, Constance, Lisbon, Paris and Venice.

CALYPSO provides the basis for a new service relationship with clients: facilitating access to networks, customizing travel cards and complementary services, diversifying sales outlets, and managing client databases.
