Abstract

Anyone who regularly uses Europe’s roads will recognize that traffic congestion is often the normal state of affairs rather than an occasional inconvenience. The most obvious effects of congestion are: increased journey times for both private and commercial motorists; escalating traffic accident levels and environmental damages resulting from higher pollution levels. In order to deal with these problems, (super) national and local authorities have implemented various traffic management schemes. The development of new technologies in the transport sector may offer additional solutions. In this context the interest in the blend of telecommunication and informatics, referred to as telematics, is noteworthy. Telematics technologies, which are widely available, are gaining increasing importance world-wide. Witness the stimuli provided by major research programmes like DRIVE (Europe), IVHS (United States) and VICS (Japan).
