Project Approach Use of Systems Engineering Principles Concept of Operations Technical Requirements Detailed Design Implementation Validation & Verification The project will follow a systems engineering approach. The RTA is currently working on the ConOps. Next steps include the System Requirements/High-level design….etc… 11/27/2018 Multi-Modal Trip Planner System

Core System Development Project Approach Implement in a phased structure Phase 1: Core System Development Phase II: Additional Content & Functionality Transit Trip Planning Driving Directions Real-Time Traffic Conditions Parking Data Emissions Avoided Data Attractions Data Real-Time Arterial Travel Times Real-Time Transit Information Phase I will focus on developing the core system as envisioned by the FTA. This includes a transit trip planning, driving directions and a combination of transit and driving. For example, a combined route would include driving to a train station, parking your car, and taking transit to your end destination. Phase I will also include real-time traffic conditions. Phase II will add functionality to the core multimodal trip planning system including: Real-time arterial travel times, Parking Data, and emissions avoided calculations. The project management structure will include both local and national stakeholder participation, as the FTA hopes to lay the groundwork for successfully implementing regional multimodal trip planners in other regions. 11/27/2018 Multi-Modal Trip Planner System

Evaluation Does it affect mode choice? System costs and effect on other agency costs Development Operations and maintenance Analyze effects on call center, using existing data on call volume, types of calls, customer wait time (cost/call) Monitor use of MMTPS and component systems (implications for costs of Operations and Management) Technical and institutional issues Use of ATIS and TCIP standards Technical issues associated with data Coordination, communication, staff response, training, other institutional issues 11/27/2018 Multi-Modal Trip Planner System

MMTPS Development Site The web survey was installed at the RTA’s transit trip planning website, TripsWeb, http://tripsweb.rtachicago.com/, and the Gary Chicago Milwaukee’s (GCMs) Traveler Information System website, www.gcmtravel.com. Approximately 1,000 respondents (500 from TripsWeb and 500 from gcmtravel.com) voluntarily chose to participate in the survey and received no incentive. The survey was conducted in an 8-day period and received a 61% completion rate. In total, 14,382 randomly selected visitors were invited to complete the survey. 11/27/2018 Multi-Modal Trip Planner System
