1. A traffic information collecting and providing system utilizing a PCS network, comprising:
- a PCS terminal for detecting and storing subscriber location information only once in each of a plurality of service areas having respective base tranceiver stations, and transmitting the detected and stored subscriber location information to one of the base transceiver stations, wherein the base transceiver stations are installed on roads of specific areas requiring traffic information and are capable of receiving location information from the PCS terminal;
a PCS network for transmitting the subscriber location information received from said one base transceiver station and detected by the PCS terminal; and
a traffic information center for checking a traffic volume and congestion conditions by processing and statistically analyzing the subscriber location information transmitted through the PCS network, wherein the PCS terminal does not transmit the subscriber location information until a predetermined number of times of detection is reached,wherein the predetermined number of times of detection is set according to a parameter value output from at least one of the base transceiver stations, and wherein said one base transceiver station is disposed at a service area through which the PCS terminal passes for a first time among the base transceiver stations.

Abstract
The present invention provides a traffic information service utilizing a PCS terminal not by independently operating the PCS network system and a traffic network system but by interconnecting a traffic information center to a PCS network system. Thus, the present invention can reduce cost of install, manage, operate, and maintain the traffic network system by making a subscriber provided with traffic information services as well as call services utilizing a PCS terminal.
