This issue of Current Topics in Transport includes over 70 abstracts of some of the published literature (reports, conference papers, books and journal articles) on aspects of electronic route guidance for drivers of vehicles on the highway. Amongst the subjects on which abstracts are provided are applications of route guidance such as traffic control, fleet initiatives in various cities including Stuttgart (STORM), Munich (COMFORT), Chicago (ADVANCE), Gothenburg (ARENA) and various assessment studies of driver reaction, route choice and the effects of guidance on driving performance. These items have been selected from the material added to the Transport Research Laboratory's Library Database between 1994 and 1996. Much of the relevant English language literature from the UK, USA, Australia and Europe is included; some of the non-UK literature is included courtesy of the OECD International Road Research Documentation (IRRD) database.
