In this paper, the design and development of a personalized system for in-vehicle transmission of traffic related information provided by VMS, which is going to be tested during the INSAFETY pilots in Greece, is thoroughly presented. Four architectures were originally proposed, two of which are presented here, since one of them (using Bluetooth technology) was abandoned and another one (using DSRC technology) is going to be tested in the Italian pilot. The two solutions (WLAN and GPS with GPRS) are presented here, both in terms of theoretical and practical design (using Intelligent Agents technology). HMI aspects are being taken into account in order to provide the information in a user friendly way, thus preventing from driver's distraction. Technical verification tests, performed in the actual Greek pilot site (ATTIKI ODOS) are described and their results are stated, which show that the system is meeting the original expectations and identify the ways of improving it. Finally, the future prospects of the proposed system are presented and conclusions drawn. (A). For the covering abstract of the conference see E216632.
