1. A traffic information display method comprising the steps of:
- a) receiving Transport Protocol Experts Group (TPEG) data including real-time traffic information;
b) storing travel speed data of unit road-sections from the received TPEG data, the unit road-sections being minimum units of the traffic information display;
c) displaying, in response to a traffic information display request from a user, an initial selection menu of relatively higher-level traffic information among traffic information categorized in multiple levels on a display;
d) receiving one selection from the relatively higher-level traffic information by a user; and
e) creating, in response to a selection from the relatively higher-level traffic information, a next selection menu of relatively lower-level traffic information including associated travel speed data, wherein the associated travel speed data is derived from the stored travel speed data of unit road-sections.

9. A traffic information display apparatus comprising:
-
a receiver for receiving Transport Protocol Experts Group (TPEG) data including real-time traffic information; a speed information database for storing travel speed data of unit road-sections from the received TPEG data and managing the travel speed data of unit road-sections that are minimum units for traffic information display; a traffic information selection menu generator for creating an initial selection menu of relatively higher-level traffic information, creating a next selection menu of relatively lower-level traffic information including associated travel speed data, wherein the associated travel speed data is derived from the travel speed data of the unit road sections; a controller for controlling the traffic information selection menu generator to respectively create the relatively higher-level traffic information and the relatively lower-level traffic information; and a display for displaying successively, upon selection by the user, the created higher-level traffic selection menu and then the created next selection menu together with the associated travel speed data. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
