One of solutions to reduce these traffic jams is to provide travelers the traffic condition information. With this traffic information, traveler could avoid the jammed roads and reduce the unnecessary time spent on roads. Recently, attention is increasing the efficiency of existing transportation systems through the use of advanced computers, electronics, and communication technologies. One major subsystem in Intelligent Transportation System(ITS)，Advanced Traveler Information system (ATIS) are proposed to provide an array of capabilities to alleviate traffic congestion in urban networks. The design of ATIS should be based on information requirements obtained directly from the end users of system. This study is based on such motivation. This study begins with a comprehensive review of the development and application in advance traveler information system all over the world. Two surveys are then conducted to the demand characteristics of two groups (private vehicle drivers and mass transit users) to obtain user information requirements for Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS). Through statistical analysis of the surveyed data, the major findings are: 1.Most users think that pre-trip information is more useful than en-route information. 2.Road-users consider road conditions, traffic conditions, accidents, the weather, transferring and parking information, alternate modes and alternate routes, as the most important ATIS services. 3.Both private vehicle drivers and mass transit users consider of radio and television reports are the most easily accessible media to all users. The results obtained in this research are expected to provide as a reference for the planning of new traveler information system, because the requirement of information is the key factors to affect traveler behavior.
