Abstract

Traffic information systems, in conjunction with traffic management systems, can assist in reducing negative aspects of road transport such as accidents, congestion and pollution. The main issues addressed in TRAVEL-GUIDE project are: common information concept of autonomous and infrastructure based systems (e.g. VMS and AICC info) ; close co-operation between information system manufacturers and info service providers to cover all areas of concern: information useability and reliability (why ?), information content (what ?), information timing (when ?) and information priorities (which first) ; extension and adaption of applications to all drivers groups, including professional drivers, foreign drivers, elderly and disabled drivers, etc. The Deliverable 1 presents and overview of existing and prospective traffic information systems and services as well as traffic management systems, schemes of co-operation between the previous two families of systems, and human-machine interfaces concerning the provision of information are discussed. An identification of gaps and priorities for future research and development is made for the above issues. (A)
