ROAD INFORMATION PROVISION SYSTEM, ROAD INFORMATION PROVISION APPARATUS, AND ROAD INFORMATION GENERATION METHOD
First Claim
1. A road information provision apparatus comprising:
- a sampling point setting unit for setting sampling points along a road from a reference point of a road section specified by road section reference data with constant intervals;
a calculating unit for calculating state quantities of traffic information changing along the road in the road section for the sampling points based on original measurement information; and
a compression unit for compressing the calculated state quantities for the sampling points.

Abstract
An object of the invention is to provide a traffic information provision system which can arbitrarily set a position resolution and a traffic representation resolution and flexibly support a traffic information prediction service.
The traffic information provision system of the invention quantizes the state quantity of traffic information changing along a road, converts said quantized state quantity to a value having statistical deviation, performs encoding of said value, and provides the encoded value to traffic information utilization apparatus such as a car navigation system. The traffic information utilization apparatus decodes said encoded state quantity to reproduce the traffic information on said road.
