• Abstract:
  An examination of the state of knowledge was conducted for the purpose of evaluating methods of providing the urban freeway driver with real-time traffic information. Visual and audio methods of communication were considered to be most feasible for implementation. The state of the art was therefore focused on systems requiring the use of these two methods. The report presents a comprehensive review of existing and proposed systems which are capable of communicating with the driver while he is in his vehicle. The systems were classified according to whether they displayed or provided information to the driver external to the vehicle (external system) or within the vehicle (on-board system).
