Title: AUTOMATED INFORMATION SYSTEMS AT INTERSTATE WELCOME CENTERS AS ELEMENT OF INTELLIGENT VEHICLE-HIGHWAY SYSTEMS
Accession Number: 00713533
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: No standard for the distribution of information at information centers located in Interstate rest areas and welcome centers exists. Some states use basic automated information systems (AISs). A second-generation AIS would be a method of distributing information through Interstate rest areas and welcome centers that is compatible with the future plans of the Intelligent Vehicle-Highway System. A questionnaire was sent to each state to identify its method of distribution of information at information centers. At least 17 states use an AIS to provide information to travelers. A second questionnaire was sent to the operators of an AIS. Most AISs can be classified into two categories: those containing paid advertisements and those not containing paid advertisements. A second-generation AIS (AIS-2) can be developed by modifying the AIS. The physical system should be a network of terminals linked to a master system. Expert system programming would help manage the data in a "yellow pages" method of advertisements. Computer-integrated manufacturing could be used to tie together all of the different aspects of the AIS-2 and allow for change as technology changes over time.
