1. Supply Side Evaluation of Radio Traffic Information

Author

Yim, Youngbin, Pfeifle, Brian, and Hellman, Paul

Abstract

The study investigated data collection and dissemination processes of radio traffic information in the San Francisco Bay Area. Program directors from thirty two radio stations were interviewed to understand the processes and radio traffic reports were analyzed to evaluate the contents. The study showed that morning traffic conditions were broadcast most frequently. During morning peak hours from 6AM-9AM, the majority of the stations broadcast traffic conditions every 15 minutes. The content of the radio information is limited to traffic flow, incident conditions and transit schedule. The traffic conditions were reported in qualitative terms, information about travel time delays or lane blockage duration’s were not included in typical radio reports.

With stories, scripts, and examples of good and bad messages, the book reveals three main strategies: FOCUS: Design a strong message?then say it in seconds. VARIETY: Make routine information come alive. PRESENCE: Convey confidence and command attention You'll discover practical techniques, including the Fast-Focus Method? that the author uses with leadership teams; how to stand out in the first seconds of a presentation; and 10 actions that spell executive presence.

Abstract

In today’s distracted world, it is more important than ever to be able to deliver a compelling yet concise message. Thanks in part to social media and an increasingly fast-paced world, the average attention span is only 8 seconds. You may think that being a great speaker within such a brief period of time requires an innate talent. However, communication is a craft that can be learned and practiced. In You’ve Got 8 Seconds, Paul Hellman breaks down the elements of an effective presentation (or an effective face-to-face or online communication) into easy-to-understand concepts that you can use to improve your speaking skills.
