This project developed a clear, concise, and fiscally sound plan to improve traveler information for the Michigan Department of Transportation (DOT). The DOT has a long history of innovation in the field of ITS, including a robust traveler information program led by its on-line presence "MI Drive". This on-line presence is supported at the roadside by the dense deployment of DMS in the southeast Detroit metro region, with an ever-growing number of DMSs in more rural regions of the State. This current research effort provided an opportunity to position the DOT for future growth and enhanced service to the Michigan traveling public. Currently, there are a variety of pre- and en route DOT traveler information resources, with more coming in the near future (such as the soon-to-be deployed capabilities to show travel speeds across the entire State on the "MI Drive" web site). There also are a number of traveler information resources and capabilities being explored by other states, such as the use of social media (i.e., Twitter) and hand-held mobile computing devices. This research project allowed the DOT to take a systematic view of the state of the practice of the ATIS, explore the capabilities of research currently being conducted, and provide a clear roadmap for the DOT as it grows and enhances its own ATIS capabilities. The project has three main tasks: 1) a literature search, 2) a survey of the traveling public, and 3) a scan of other significant statewide ATIS deployments.

This report from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), which is administered by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, sets out requirements for travel time reliability within a performance-based planning process. The research includes an effort to determine the economic value of improvements in travel time reliability by applying options theory from the financial sector. The report includes two succinct tables that describe requirements for person and freight trips for reliable transport, as well as a forecast of the year 2030 under alternative assumptions that may influence travel time reliability.

The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), in partnership with other agencies and divisions of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, coordinates a portfolio of projects that build data capacity for conducting patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR). PCOR focuses on producing scientific evidence on the effectiveness of prevention and treatment options to inform the health care decisions of patients, families, and health care providers, taking into consideration the preferences, values, and questions patients face when making health care choices. ASPE asked the National Academies to appoint a consensus study committee to identify issues critical to the continued development of the data infrastructure for PCOR. Building Data Capacity for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research contains findings and conclusions in the areas that could benefit from being prioritized as part of ASPE's work, and offers input on strengthening the overall framework for building the data infrastructure over the coming years. The committee authoring this report also issued three interim reports, which summarized discussions from three workshops, and are included as appendices in the final report.

TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 70: Guidebook for Implementing Intelligent Transportation Systems Elements to Improve Airport Traveler Access Information provides descriptions, component details, and examples of how airport ground access information can be disseminated using various intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies. The guidebook contains tables to help airport operators determine the applicability of certain ITS strategies based on airport operational needs and airport size. The printed version of the report includes an interactive CD-ROM designed to help explore and evaluate the information needs of various airport traveler market segments and to identify ITS technologies that best meet the needs of the airport user. The CD-ROM also contains a decision support tool that allows users to identify appropriate methods of delivering airport traveler information based on the airport traveler market segment.
