This paper describes the CARMINAT evaluation project due to be started at the end of 1994. It consists of full-scale experimentation of real time traffic information and route guidance services in the Ile de France area.

This includes the methods for: a) data collection; b) data dissemination and processing; c) information coding and broadcasting; d) the design of the man-machine interface; and e) the methodology.
