As the first steps on an intelligent speed adaptation (ISA) in Belgium are taken, the need for an accurate speed limit database is growing. Based on studies to reveal available speed limit information on higher and lower (municipalities) level, and taking into account European guidelines and standards, a dynamic speed limit database is being developed. Furthermore a framework is constructed for the distribution and updating of this speed limit database and for the provision of real-time speed information in vehicles (dynamic ISA). The research is part of the NextGenITS project that aims to implement several ITS services presented in an integrated demonstrator for Flanders.
