16. Abstract

This document is part of a study on "Communicating with the Public Using ATIS during Disasters" being conducted by Battelle for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Operations and the U.S. DOT ITS Joint Program Office. The purpose of the study is to examine what information needs to be communicated to evacuees and other travelers under disaster conditions and how the advanced traveler information system (ATIS) assets of a state's department of transportation (DOT) or other transportation agency can be effectively used to deliver such information.

This document details a concept of operations for dissemination of information to the traveling public during disaster events. The concept of operations report is intended to illustrate how agencies need to interface with each other and what data and information need to be shared to effectively manage and deliver traveler information during disasters.
