1. A traffic information system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a global positioning system (GPS) associated with said vehicle that selectively generates location and vector data;
a transmitter; and
a control module that receives said location and vector data and that wirelessly transmits said location and vector data using said transmitter, wherein a remote traffic monitoring system that receives the location and vector data determines a first lane that the vehicle is located in based on at least the location and vector data.

Abstract
A traffic information system for a vehicle comprises a global positioning system (GPS) associated with the vehicle that selectively generates location and vector data. The traffic information system includes a transmitter. A control module receives the location and vector data and wirelessly transmits the location and vector data using the transmitter. A remote traffic monitoring system receives the location and vector data and determines a first lane that the vehicle is located in based on at least the location and vector data.

16. A traffic information system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
global positioning means associated with said vehicle for selectively generating location and vector data;
transmitting means for transmitting data; and
control means for receiving said location and vector data and for wirelessly transmitting said location and vector data using said transmitting means, wherein said control means communicates with remote traffic monitoring means for receiving the location and vector data and for determining a first lane that the vehicle is located in based on at least the location and vector data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
