Title:

Analyzing the Effects of Web-Based Traffic Information and Weather Events in the Seattle Puget Sound Region: Draft Report

Abstract:

Analysis of web-based ATIS usage logs against observed weather conditions, and generation of a new profile of ATIS market penetration. Simulation results were analyzed and compared to results from Mitretek's earlier MMDI study. Analysis showed that non-uniform ATIS utilization rate related to severe weather has a small positive impact on road system efficiency.
