Method for detecting current traffic situation on road section of road network, involves detecting speed profile from vehicle traveling on road section, and detecting end of traffic jam on road section by evaluating speed profile

摘要

The method involves detecting (101) a speed profile from a vehicle traveling on a road section, and detecting the end of a traffic jam on the road section by evaluating (102) the speed profile. The end of traffic jam is detected, when the speed profile of the vehicle falls below a predetermined speed to a time that is longer than a predetermined minimum duration. The position and information describing the traffic jam end are transmitted (103) by a communication device of the vehicle to a central location. An independent claim is included for a device for a vehicle for detecting a current traffic situation on a road section of a road network traveled by the vehicle.
