2
Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS/511)
  • Provide accurate, real time
  • Road and weather conditions
  • Traffic conditions
  • Travel times
  • Transit routes, schedules, and fares
  • Rideshare, motorist assistance, etc
  • Special events impacting travel

3
Through
  • Commercial TV and radio broadcasts, changeable
    message signs,
  • highway advisory radio
  • in-vehicle systems
  • internet, pagers,
  • kiosks

4
And 511 telephone
  • 5-1-1 is the National Telephone Number for
    Travel Information

Importance of ATIS/511 For Emergency Managers
  • Floodgate messages
  • Official information
  • Alternative routes, travel modes
  • Public assistance, e.g., amber alert child
    abductions

Loma Prieta Earthquake1989 pre ATIS/511
  • Problems
  • Couldnt determine impact area/infrastructure
  • Couldnt direct people to safe routes
  • Overloaded Transit call centers
  • Responses
  • Added capacity, buses re-routed to BART
  • Started transbay ferry service
  • Started ITS, multi-agency TMC, ATIS/511

11
Northridge Earthquake1994 pre ATIS/511
  • Coordinated Multiagency Response
  • Restricted partially open freeways to HOV
  • Published weekly newspaper inserts
  • Started 800-COMMUTE
  • A multimodal, multi-agency predecessor to 511
  • Installed 76 kiosks (discontinued in 1996)
  • Internet added in 1995 redesigned 2005

12
San Diego Fires2003 pre ATIS/511
  • Problem
  • Travelers congestion and delay
  • Traveler conflict with responders
  • Highway calls exceeded 52X normal - but
    information updates not automated
  • San Diego ATIS/511 will
  • Provide automatically updated, accurate
    information

13
Arizona 511 EmergenciesSince 2001 with ATIS/511
  • Warns and directs travelers
  • Floodgate messages
  • Airport security messages include open roadway
    routes, parking and curbside service restrictions

14
Florida 511 Hurricanes2004 with ATIS/511
  • Eliminated recurring public information problems
  • Identified open/recommended bridges and roads, in
    which directions, travel speeds, incidents

Florida 511 Disaster Planning2005 ATIS/511
  • Evacuating tourism / event attractions
  • Facilitating regional roadway reliability
  • Using multimodal data to improve regional
    emergency response planning

16
Advantages of ATIS/511 During Emergencies
  • Collects automated ITS data
  • Coordinates responders
  • Allows inter-agency and inter-state data
    sharing/coordination
  • Provides cost-effective and widespread public
    notification
  • Provides requests for assistance (Amber Alerts,
    Homeland Security Warnings)
  • Manages public reaction

17
Lesson Learned
ATIS/511 provides cost-effective and widespread
public notification for managing public reaction
