Abstract

The Traveler’s Information Map (TIM) is a web-based resource designed by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) to provide the public with current information on traffic conditions within the city of Seattle. The map currently displays traffic congestion, roadway camera images, traffic incidents, and planned events. It also provides links to additional transit resources. Phase 1 of the system was developed in two years and launched to the public on March of 2008. Phase 2, currently in the deployment stage, will add travel times to the map between pre-selected points in the city, an optimized hand held device interface, and upgrades to the system based on operational experience from Phase 1.
