Evaluation of the Effect of Shortening Travel Time by Using Predicted Traffic Information

In this paper, it was evaluated to quantify the effect of shortening the route travel time with the predicted route guidance. As a result, it has become clear that the route travel time of about 7~10 % on the average has been shortened compared with the conventional dynamic route guidance. If one car runs 10,000km a year, this value means that it can shorten the route travel time of about 29~42 hours a year. It is expected as for the effect of reduction of fuel consumption and exhaust gas.
