Method for sending value of e.g. current position of motor car to service provider to receive e.g. accident information for computed route, involves determining traffic-relevant characteristic value to send according to traffic information

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves determining a value of traffic-relevant characteristic of a motor car (100). The determined value is periodically sent with a request (102) to a service provider (110) in connection with a time stamp according to traffic information, where the time stamp includes a current time for a determination time point. The characteristic is comprised of information regarding a current travel direction, a current position and/or current average speed of the motor car, where the current position is determined by a position determination unit i.e. global positioning system (GPS) module. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for an arrangement for sending a traffic-relevant characteristic value of a motor car. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Method for sending a value of a traffic-relevant characteristic e.g. current travel direction, current position and current average speed (all claimed), of a motor car to a service provider in order to receive traffic information e.g. traffic jams, accidents and hazards, for a computed route. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The determined traffic-relevant characteristic value is periodically sent with the request in connection with the time stamp according to the traffic information such that traffic data acquisition can be extended, thus ensuring reliability of a service quality of the service provider while simultaneously enhancing utilization of the service of the service provider by a user of the motor car. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic side view of a motor car that is in communication with a service provider. 100 : Motor car 101 : Traffic-relevant characteristic value sending arrangement 102 : Request 103 : Response 110 : Service provider.
