Apparatus and method for providing traffic information

摘要

A system and method for providing traffic information including the steps of predetermining a portion of a recommended most economic route for a vehicle between an origin and a destination, storing the pre-determined portion in a rapid access means in a digital storage means and accessing the rapid access means for use in responding to a user request for traffic information for a journey between the origin and the destination. The recommended most economic route minimises the journey cost, which may include a road fund licence, variable costs, driver costs and fuel costs.
