This report is one of eight reports produced as part of the evaluation of the TravTek operational field test, conducted in Orlando, Florida, during 1992-1993. TravTek, short for Travel Technology, was an advanced driver information and traffic management system that provided a combination of traveler information services and route navigation and guidance support to the driver. Twelve individual but related studies were conducted during the evaluation. Evaluation goals and objectives were represented by the following basic questions: (1) Did the TravTek system work; (2) Did drivers save time and avoid congestion; (3) Will drivers use this system; (4) How effective was voice guidance compared to moving map and turn-by-turn displays; (5) Was TravTek safe; (6) Could TravTek benefit travelers who do not have the TravTek system; (7) Will people be willing to pay for TravTek features.Evaluation data were obtained from more than 4,000 volunteer drivers during the operation of 100 specially equipped automobiles for a 1-year period.
