The Wichita Transit CIS Interactive Traveler Information service provides tailored information in response to a traveler request. Both real-time interactive request/response systems and information systems that "push" a tailored stream of information to the traveler based on a submitted profile are supported. The traveler can obtain current information regarding transit services, and detour information. A range of two-way wide-area wireless and fixed-point to fixed-point communications systems may be used to support the required data communications between the traveler and the Wichita Transit CIS. A variety of interactive devices may be used by the traveler to access information prior to a trip or en route including phone via the Kansas 511 system, kiosk, Personal Digital Assistant, personal computer, and a variety of in-vehicle devices. This service also allows value-added resellers to collect transit information that can be aggregated and be available to their personal devices or remote traveler systems to better inform their customers of transportation conditions. A traveler may also input personal preferences for trip planning.
