Delivering information to the consumer is a very, very powerful tool. It's giving them more control in their life. |
Information about incidents, what's ahead of you, a closure ahead, certain routes are closed. |
It adds a different dynamic to the life of the traveler. I think it enhances the quality of life as well. |
It would be hard to quantify, but we'd experience significant congestion. Each of the tools we have shows great benefits. |
It's got to be reliable. It's got to be real-time. |
One of the biggest benefits is we're able to manage the system as a system. We're reacting quickly. Law enforcement, emergency responders, should it be an accident or an event, we're able to deploy the appropriate resources at the right time. Every minute a lane is blocked, there's four minutes of resulting congestion. The sooner you clear the lane, the sooner you clear congestion. |
We're offering them information so they can make informed choices. If you have information, you can make a choice to take a different route. |
