The chief objective of the PATH2Go multimodal traveler information application is to improve the accessibility and the quality of real-time traveler information and to make transit a known and viable choice for travelers. PATH2Go was developed as part of a field test on the US-101 corridor in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, with the primary hypothesis that travelers would benefit from real-time multimodal traveler information and therefore would be likely to consider using transit. PATH2Go integrates a web-based multimodal trip–planning tool that uses real-time transit, traffic, and parking information; a web-based search tool that finds real-time information about transit arrivals and schedules; and a mobile application that provides personalized en route transit trip information. PATH2Go integrates these major components of traveler information in one platform and makes real-time information easily accessible to travelers. The PATH2Go system architecture and major design considerations are described, and enabling technologies—including the Global Positioning System (GPS) fusing algorithm and a scenario-parsing algorithm based on GPS location data—are introduced.
