Abstract
A method for determining traffic conditions includes: collecting real-time traffic information of a road; calculating a representative speed value for the road by a fuzzy inference, from the collected real-time traffic information and traffic condition factors having an effect on the road; and transmitting the representative speed value to a terminal of a vehicle traveling on the road corresponding to the representative speed value. The representative speed is sensibly determined and reliable information is supplied because the fuzzy inference's performance is based on the information collected from the signal transmitter and based on the factors which can affect the traffic conditions.
Claims1
A method for predicting traffic conditions, comprising:
- predicting a traffic condition by a fuzzy inference from regional characteristic information and traffic condition factors having an effect on the roads, in the case that real-time traffic information of the roads is not collected;
- and
- transmitting the predicted traffic condition to a terminal of a vehicle traveling on a road corresponding to the predicted traffic condition;
- wherein the regional characteristic information includes a first information about neighboring buildings and a second information on the number of lanes in the road.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
