z Multimodal Accessible Travel En-Route Guidance (example project)

Project Description: Multimodal Accessible Travel (MAT) En–Route Guidance offers route planning and turn–by–turn guidance that is responsive to current conditions. The route may be determined by the center or the user equipment and turn–by–turn guidance is provided as the traveler progresses along the route. Real–time guidance updates may be provided during the trip as conditions change.
