The development is described of an XML-based Road Web Markup Language (RWML), and an "on-demand" server technology that will enable road travellers to access, using in-car mobile terminals, a variety of information such as that on roads, sightseeing, events, and other services including facilities, weather and disaster prevention. This paper outlines the technology as it relates to the field experiment on use of information en-route via mobile terminals, which will be launched in July 2001 in Hokkaido as a public-private joint study.
