Expanding Usage Of Cellular Phones: User Profile And Transportation Issues

This study presents an initial step toward an understanding of consumer responses to advanced traveler information systems. Specifically, it is aimed at understanding the role that cellular telephones can play in the management of urban traffic systems. To assess the interrelationships between cellular communication and driver behavior, a mail survey of GTE Mobilnet customers in the San Francisco Bay Area was conducted.
