Abstract
The results of several Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) in Canada are reviewed. They are assessed from the perspective of human factors psychology, emphasizing the users´ capabilities and the system´s intended functions. The results indicate that systems designed specifically for a narrow range of users will find limited acceptance, whereas systems designed for a broad range of users, including users with sensory disabilities, will find greater acceptance among all users.
