ATIS; architecture; smart-phone; ITS

Because of the outstanding performances and features, smart-phones have been developed over the past decade in China. More and more persons take smart-phones along using various applications to process many affairs instead of personal computers. With the sensor technology and multi-media display technology integrated in the smart-phones, the traffic information can be collected and distributed more efficiently. Therefore, the smart-phones play a more and more important role in advanced traveler information system (ATIS) nowadays. Although the smart-phones have changed the people`s lives importantly, this potential resource has not been explicitly evaluated for ATIS applications. In this paper, the new ATIS architectures for Jiangsu Province were illustrated with the consideration on the broad usage of smart-phones based on Chinese national Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) architecture and Jiangsu provincial ITS architecture.
