Method for traffic determination in a routing and information system for individual motor vehicle traffic
First Claim
1. In a method for traffic management in a routing and information system for motor vehicle traffic having a network of stationary routing stations each located in the vicinity of a roadway, in which the routing stations transmit route information and local information concerning their positions to passing vehicles, and in which a trip destination is input into a device onboard a vehicle and transmitted therefrom to a routing station for evaluation so that specific route recommendations may be selected, the improvement therein comprising:
- transmitting, from a first routing station to a passing vehicle, a message including suggested route data constituting a vector chain, the address of the first routing station and a start command;
receiving the message from the routing station in the device onboard the vehicle, storing the route data in the onboard device, and activating a travel time measuring device in the vehicle with the received start command; and
transmitting, after traveling to a second routing station along the path suggested by the route data, the address of the first routing station, the route data, and the elapsed travel time to the second routing station.

Abstract
In a method for traffic determination, a routing and information system for individual motor vehicle traffic is used, in which by way of stationary routing station poles, route information and local information are transmitted to the passing vehicles. For the determination of the traffic situation, the traveling times between two routing station poles are measured in individual vehicles with timing units. These traveling times are transmitted, together with the local information of the first routing station pole passed by a vehicle, to the second routing station pole and are considered in determining new route recommendations.
