Predictive Traffic Information Creating Method, Predictive Traffic Information Creating Apparatus, and Traffic Information Display Terminal
First Claim
1. Predictive traffic information creating method for a predictive traffic information creating apparatus:
- being connected via a communication network to a traffic information center that delivers live traffic information regarding a predetermined road network at a predetermined time interval;
comprising an information processor and information storage for storing at least statistical traffic information regarding links included in the road network; and
when an incident occurs in the road network, creating predictive traffic information regarding after the incident,the method comprising;
on the information processor,receiving the live traffic information delivered from the traffic information center, and detecting the incident in the road network based on the received live traffic information;
setting predictive environment parameters including parameters regarding traffic restriction in accordance with the detected incident; and
creating the predictive traffic information at a time after the incident occurs based on the set predictive environment parameters and the statistical traffic information.
