The SOCRATES dynamic route guidance system will be tested in a field trial within the EU DRIVE Project RHAPIT (RHein/Main Area Project for Integrated Traffic Management). The SOCRATES Information Centre has been set up in order to manage and to provide the relevant dynamic traffic information to specially equipped vehicles. The communication operates on the German D1 mobile telephone network which is based on the pan-European GSM standard. A test fleet of 35 equipped and 5 non-equipped vehicles will run in the field trial in the second half of year 1994, and will provide data for evaluation purposes. (A)
