One of the most significant areas of research and development in traffic/travel information exchange is the application of new and advanced technologies to aid improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This is known, respectively, as advanced road transport telematics (ATT) in Europe, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in the U.S. In Europe, much current work is within the Commission of the European Communities (CEC)-funded ATT Program, which is more commonly known as DRIVE II. This program's 56 projects can be divided in the following areas: (1) Demand management; (2) Traffic and travel information systems; (3) Integrated urban traffic management systems; (4) Integrated interurban traffic management systems; (5) Driver assistance and cooperative driving; (6) Freight and fleet management; and (7) Public transport (transit) management. This paper addresses key developments within the second of these areas, traffic and travel information systems.
