Abstract

This paper describes a low-cost, in-vehicle route planning and driver information system being developed for use within the DRIVE PLEIADES (London–Paris corridor) project. The system integrates vehicle position information from a GPS receiver, traffic condition messages broadcast from both RDS-TMC and radio paging, and road network information from a route planning system. Instructions describing the route to be followed are presented to the driver on a dashboard-mounted LCD and in spoken form. The system tracks the calculated optimum route and gives instructions for the next section of the route to be covered. The optimum route is continuously recalculated, reacting to TMC messages and the vehicle's location.
