Dynamic travel information for drivers - including parking guidance - can be a suitable tool in helping to achieve the dutch policy objectives. Within a two-dimensional approach of demand management and traffic management, dynamic travel information for drivers would contribute to keeping traffic demand within acceptable limits by stimulating public transport use and contribute to optimal traffic management by giving route guidance and parking guidance. The possibilities for a pilot scheme with a dynamic travel information system in acity and its surrounding have been investigated. The results are presented in this paper together with the plan for implementation. Emphasis is put on the functions of parking guidance and public transport information, called Wegwijs. Japanese Ministry of Construction and OECD/Road Transport Research Programme held the seminar on "future road transport systems and infrastructures in urban areas" in Chiba, Japan on 4th - 6th June 1991 sponsored by the Japanese organizing committee.
