This project is a partnership consisting of the Federal Highway Administration, the Florida Department of Transportation, the City of Orlando, General Motors, and the American Automobile Association. The objectives of the TravTek project are to: Explore the feasibility of ADIS and their acceptability to drivers. Determine whether Advanced Driver Information System (ADIS) can improve utilization of the highway system, increase safety, improve travel time, and reduce fuel consumption. Gain insights into how to build the next generation of ADIS. The TravTek vehicle equipment will be installed in 100 General Motors 1992 Oldsmobile Toronados.
