Abstract
An apparatus and method that can display traffic flow data in a vehicle. Current traffic flow data for a transportation link is obtained. The current traffic flow includes at least a current speed of the traffic traveling on the transportation link. Historical traffic flow data for the transportation link is also obtained. An indicium representative of traffic flow is selected based on the current traffic flow data and the historical traffic flow data. The indicium is then displayed to the vehicle'"'"'s driver, along with an image representative of the traffic link.
