Customized traffic forecast method for individual vehicles, using vehicle based traffic computer to create forecasts based on traffic conditions data captured on side of other vehicles and transmitted to individual vehicle

摘要

The vehicle specific forecasts are created for a current vehicle position using a vehicle based traffic computer (9) calculating an optimal route from the current position to notes of the traffic network. The computer uses a memory (1) stored hydrograph type traffic position pattern and a predetermined cost function. The forecasts are generated using additional traffic condition data input to the computer based on traffic conditions measurements (15) taken on side of own and other vehicles. Thus formed forecasts are then transmitted to individual vehicles.
