TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS IN THE FUTURE<br />
The development of technological innovations is usually not a priority for agencies. Nevertheless,<br />
agencies and ultimately road users will benefit from evaluating the positive impacts that<br />
technological innovations may have on travel-time reliability. Mobile applications are at the core<br />
of cutting-edge technologies that will have a large impact on travel-time reliability. The<br />
widespread dissemination of user-cus<strong>to</strong>mized traffic information with temporal and spatial multimodal<br />
integration will change the behavior of commuters in the next 20 years. As these mobile<br />
applications are being developed and integrated with traffic data, we will see more information<br />
related <strong>to</strong>:<br />
• Carpool/Car Sharing Programs<br />
• Transit Information<br />
• Safety Applications (e.g., au<strong>to</strong>mated accident notification)<br />
• Emergency Ride Programs<br />
• Parking Information<br />
