The tour was unique in that it represented the first time that a scanning tour was made to these countries expressly for the purpose of learning about innovative applications of technology to improve the traffic management and traveler information services provided by public-sector agencies. An important goal for the study team was to learn and identify policies, programs, technologies, and techniques that may have applications to U.S. experiences in traffic management and traveler information services
