Service Area Travelers Interactive Network

The Service Area Travelers Interactive Network (SATIN) kiosk project is a partnership between TRANSCOM and Golden Screens Interactive Technologies, Inc.  The project will provide travelers with static and near-real-time traffic and transit information through interactive computer kiosks.   The kiosks are to be located at service areas and transit centers in the New York - New Jersey - Connecticut metropolitan region.  The information on the kiosks will include all of the planned and near-real-time incident and construction information collected and integrated  by TRANSCOM, as well as other information.

The SATIN network will enable travelers to get all of the information they need to plan or complete their trip, regardless of the number of agencies or jurisdictions involved.   Wherever possible, it will also inform the public about major incidents or schedule changes, via an overhead monitor or LED visible to all passersby.

The expected applications to be provided on the kiosks include:

Transportation incident and construction information
Roadway routing
Location-specific information, with details of customer services available
Transit routing based on options including preferences for fewest transfers, fastest travel time, etc.
Transit schedules, locations of stations/stops, fares, details on customer services available at stations, and connecting transit service available at each station/stop.  This includes both site-specific information (information on options at the traveler's current location) and comprehensive information covering all locations (to allow for planning of other trips or transfers).
Park-and-ride lot locations, connecting transit schedules and fares listed by park-and-ride lot, and details on customer services available at each location
Near-real-time roadway speeds and weather conditions (ice, fog, etc.)
Weather forecasts for the immediate area
Information on special events and other tourist information
Information on the impact upcoming special events will have on traffic and transit availability.
