Abstract
Abstract: The paper presents some research findings from conducting an analysis on the information architecture of Freeway/Expressway real-time traffic information website, which established by Taiwan Area National Freeway Bureau (TANFB), Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC), to provide travelers with pre-trip road and traffic information. First, a Continuous Time Markov Chains (CTMC) model with preliminary information architecture was constructed by collecting clickstream data in the web server. This model was then modified according to the change of information priority and hence the expected searching time under this new architecture was predicted by its modified model. The concept of constructing and using the Markov model is to substitute subsequent, lengthy usability testing. Ultimately, the findings of this research can highlight the directions for constructing similar travelers browsing model with results being used as inputs for communications network simulation on the web/Internet-based multimodal traveler information systems in Taiwan.
