NONTRADITIONAL DATA SOURCES FOR THE GARY-CHICAGO-MILWAUKEE GATEWAY TRAVELER INFORMATION SYSTEM

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The Gary-Chicago-Milwaukee (GCM) corridor has been the scene of numerous intelligent transportation system (ITS) projects. One of the largest and most complex is the Gateway Traveler Information System (TIS), being led by the Illinois Department of Transportation. This article documents the process that took place during the development and implementation of the Gateway TIS for the GCM corridor. During this development phase, certain issues needed to be addressed to interface nontraditional and nonstandard data sources. Some of these issues were technical in nature, while others were institutional. Many of these issues will also need to be addressed by other ITS projects in the U.S. The GCM corridor program plan is discussed, and recommendations are provided relative to data source and interfacing concerns.
