This paper will provide an overview of the systems architecture and procedures required to establish and operate a commercial FVD system and share examples of the data generated in various formats. It will also explain why ITIS created a Road TimeTable and what functionality this offers. The paper will go on to outline a number of commercial services based on FVD that are either already operating in commercial environments or are in development, focusing on three specific Case Studies: (1) Network Monitoring - the use of FVD historic and real time data by the Public Sector to provide journey time statistics and real time traffic management information; (2) RDS-TMC - an advanced traffic messaging system delivering real time content via the RDS-TMC that can integrate with car audio system or navigation devices and creating the UK'S first dynamic re-routing application; (3) National Express Coaches - state of the art fleet management application with the ability to provide estimated time of arrival services. The paper will conclude with an update on work in progress including the ongoing development of predictive journey time capability and logistics applications. It will also demonstrate that the ITIS approach to FVD is completely scalable and already operating on a pan European basis.
