Abstract :
Vehicle drivers are requested to collect dynamic visual information on such matters as other vehicles and traffic signals, and static visual information including traffic signs, and to maneuver the vehicle accordingly. However, traffic signs and other static visual information are more likely to be overlooked than dynamic visual information during maneuver. In this study, an in-vehicle signing system was built and assessed that uses general-purpose RFID tags as digital traffic signs, and a field test was conducted using tags installed on a road to verify whether the system worked effectively or not. A laboratory test was also carried out using a video of vehicle travel to have subjects experience maneuver. Then, it was found that providing visual and vocal information in the vehicle was effective. And In-vehicle navigation permits people to find their way while driving. Combining these applications with road traffic data may result in diminishing traveling time. In this paper we deal with the problem of vehicle routing on today´s congested roads. The result of this study is a Web application that provides the user with two possibilities.
