A research study was conducted to investigate the potential application of Intelligent Vehicle/Highway Systems (IVHS) technologies for reducing accidents on rural roads. After studying existing technologies, their present application to transportation, and approaches to identifying predominant accident characteristics, a prototype Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) for a rural region was developed. An ATIS is proposed that (1) serves a large region, as opposed to a single corridor, (2) provides pre-trip travel information, as opposed to enroute information, and (3) provides current information on road conditions. A cost-benefit analysis of the proposed ATIS has been conducted. Two technologies, namely satellite and radio, are explored for providing location information for maintenance vehicles.
