1. A computer-implemented method of displaying traffic conditions on a road system, the method comprising:
- (a) creating a simulated 3D graphical map of the road system, the simulated 3D graphical map including at least one segment;
(b) determining a current status of at least one of the segments on the simulated 3D graphical map, the current status of the at least one segment corresponding to traffic data associated with that segment; and
(c) creating a simulated 3D model of the road system by combining the simulated 3D graphical map and the current status of the at least one segment, wherein the simulated 3D model of the road system displays traffic conditions on the road system.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of displaying traffic conditions on a road system includes creating a 3D graphical map of the road system that includes one or more segments. The status of at least one of the segments on the 3D graphical map is determined. The status of the segment corresponds to traffic data associated with that segment. A 3D model of the road system is created by combining the 3D graphical map and the status of that segment.
