Effectiveness of Different Approaches to Disseminating Traveler Information and Travel Time Reliability

Overview

The SHRP2 L14 project has three objectives: 1) quantify the potential for improvements in the communication of travel reliability information to affect traveler choices such that positive impacts on system performance occur, 2) develop a lexicon for communicating travel time reliability concepts among transportation professionals and travelers, and 3) develop prioritized, near-term strategies for improved dissemination of travel time reliability information and provide guidance for state departments of transportation and other public sector transportation agencies.
