摘要：	A traffic information system described here aims to increase the number of drivers who are aware of traffic incidents that will affect their current or contemplated trip. Route specific service with automatic interrupt is offered, using an available entertainment radio that has the Radio Data System (RDS) feature. FM stations would put the traffic information from Traffic Management Centers on the RDS subcarrier of their transmitted signal. The drivers must have an entertainment radio with the RDS feature and display, and must arrange to have their radio programmed for specific pre-planned routes. Such programming will be done by the driver calling a motor club (or equivalent) and describing their commute and other frequent routes using ordinary maps. The motor club will arrange to program their receiver "over the air" at night, and will send the driver custom maps which describe the possible diversion roads surrounding the frequent routes. Either pre-trip or enroute, the driver will view a display containing the expressway number (or arterial name) and direction, the number of the escape exit ahead of the current queue, a dynamic delay time depicting the difference between the normal and the impeded transit time, and the re-entrance number. This information, along with the paper map, permits the driver to make the most informed decision about whether, and how, to divert. The selection of broadcast mode along with a generic radio with an additional feature, and the use of a paper map, implements the most cost-beneficial improvement over the current system of ten-minute spaced all-incident reports on a few AM or FM stations in a metro area. Further, the RDS receiver used here can be used for emergency warnings from ambulances, police and fire vehicles, and possibly train engines.
