Using real-time updated information on traffic generated by the highway infrastructure, drivers will then be able to organize their trips following an optimal itinerary based on most suitable criteria (distance, time , consumption). Once traveling, drivers will be be constantly informed about their itinerary and its upcoming traffic and safety conditions. In particular, they will be informed of any hazard on the road, notably those hidden by poor visibility, distance, curves, and obstructions.
The intelligent highway will support the intelligent vehicle and the intelligent driver, encouraging responsible driving behavior, increasing the efficiency and safety of highway traffic, and thereby safeguarding private and public interests.
