Title: TRAVEL AND TRAFFIC INFORMATION: A REVIEW OF CURRENT EUROPEAN DEVELOPMENTS
Abstract: In-vehicle information systems using new generations of communications and information technology are already with us. Developments in the European programmes DRIVE and PROMETHEUS are aimed at bringing closer full commercial implementation of sophisticated travel and traffic information systems which will provide benefits both to individual users and to the community in terms ofimproved transport efficiency. The objectives of many projects include the integration of several applications of Advanced Road Transport Telematics (ATT), often focusing on the provision of better information to travellers. This paper reviews recent and current European developments in in-vehicle information systems and plans for integration with public transport information, fleet management and traffic control systems. It summarises the current pilot projects and looks ahead to the commercial implementation of some of the systems on trial. (A) For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 855511.
