Cities and Towns TIC and Website
Status
Existing
Description
The Cities and Towns Website represents existing and planned websites. Websites can serve as a transportation information center subsystem and can contain event information, traffic information, maintenance and construction information, and weather information. At the broadest services, this element would serve as a Transportation Information Center' (TIC): collects, processes, stores, and disseminates transportation information to system operators and the traveling public.
The physical object can play several different roles in an integrated ITS. In one role, the TIC provides a data collection, fusing, and repackaging function, collecting information from transportation system operators and redistributing this information to other system operators in the region and other TICs. In this information redistribution role, the TIC provides a bridge between the various transportation systems that produce the information and the other TICs and their subscribers that use the information. The second role of a TIC is focused on delivery of traveler information to subscribers and the public at large. Information provided includes basic advisories, traffic and road conditions, transit schedule information, yellow pages information, ride matching information, and parking information. The TIC is commonly implemented as a website or a web-based application service, but it represents any traveler information distribution service.
