1. A method of navigating a motor vehicle with reference to current traffic conditions in an area, comprising:

  • transmitting signals by a signal transceiver to a navigation unit in the motor vehicle, the signals including at least one selected from the group consisting of (a) current velocity information of sampling vehicles in the area and (b) current positional information of the sampling vehicles in the area;

    computing, by the navigation unit, a reference value as a number proportional to traffic incident flow of at least one vehicle at a specific time based upon at least one of the current velocity information and the current positional information;

    identifying a traffic incident, by the navigation unit, based on data computations made by the navigation unit; and

    issuing, by the navigation unit, a warning of a traffic incident in the area if the reference value is smaller than a predetermined value that represents at least one of historical velocity information and historical positional information associated with the area in a normal traffic condition.
