Act I
![Page 3: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
New technologies are changing transportation data
![Page 4: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
We can use these changes to meet travelers’ needs
![Page 5: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Existing practices—and inertia—make it difficult to see opportunities
![Page 6: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
There are creative and safe ways to explore the possibilities
![Page 7: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Focus on needs and match the data source to those needs
![Page 8: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Act II, Scene 1
![Page 9: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Transportation data collection is based on available technologies
![Page 10: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Traffic counts were first done manually, and then with tubes
![Page 11: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Inductive loops represented a significant leap forward
![Page 12: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
New technologies—GPS, cell phones, and more—expand the options
![Page 13: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Act II, Scene 2
![Page 14: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Uses of data have been driven by the available data, not by needs
![Page 15: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Traffic Management Systems are built to use what loops provide
![Page 16: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
By extension, traveler information systems were built to use that data
![Page 17: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Or, radio reports used helicopters (another form of “technology”)

Act II, Scene 3
![Page 19: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
We can now start to provide what people really want and need
![Page 20: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Most people want to know “How long will it take to get there?”
![Page 21: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Information can now come from cars
![Page 22: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Instead of this…

We can do this…

Creative partnerships, rights, and institutional structures are needed
![Page 25: The Past, Present, and Future of Data for Traveler Information](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/55a8a8ed1a28abc0508b48d3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
How can agencies take advantage of these opportunities?
Ownership not needed

Travelers want better information than they have been getting

Focus on needs and match the data source to those needs
