Trucking Industry Preferences For Driver Traveler Information Using Wireless Internet-Enabled Devices

If truck drivers could use Internet-enabled wireless devices to access traveler information, what type of information would they most want to have? We analyzed preferences for traveler information from managers of 700 trucking companies to determine how they valued information. Using a factor-analytic model with regressor variables, we found clear differences in preferences across types of trucking operations. "Locations of freeway incidents and lane closures," "weather information," and "travel times on alternative routes" were evaluated as important by the greatest number of carriers.
