TRAFFIC INFORMATION PROVIDING SYSTEM USING DIGITAL MAP FOR COLLECTING TRAFFIC INFORMATION AND METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A system for generating and providing traffic information on a predetermined section though communication with a terminal installed in a traveling object, the system comprising:
- a traffic information collecting digital map database for storing a traffic information collecting digital map that is generated to maintain the distance between detection nodes to be greater than a predetermined distance by considering an error range of a GPS sensor of the traveling object;
a data collector for receiving traffic information target location information from the terminal, the traffic information target location information including at least one of a coordinate, a time, a node type, and an order;
a data generator for matching the traffic information target location information on the traffic information collecting digital map, and generating communication information on a predetermined section with reference to a unit node based on the map matching result;
a traffic information providing digital map database for storing a digital map for providing traffic information; and
a traffic information provider for generating traffic information by mapping the communication information on the traffic information providing digital map, and providing the traffic information.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a traffic information providing system and method using a traffic information collecting digital map. A traffic information collecting terminal receives GPS data from at least one GPS satellite, and generates traffic information target location information with reference to traffic information established based on the GPS data. The traffic information target location information includes a coordinate and a time and can further include a type or an order on the traffic information target location information. The traffic information providing system matches traffic information target location information provided by the terminals on nodes and links for collecting traffic information of a traffic information collecting digital map, generates section communication information for a section, processes the section communication information, and provides it as traffic information. Therefore, accurate communication information is generated and more accurate traffic information is provided. For example, it is possible to generate accurate traffic information excluding a traveling time (or a traveling speed) error caused by a probe vehicle'"'"'s entrance to a rest area from the link having an expressway rest area.
