Mobile Info
mobile.info as an enabler for innovative future telematics services.
Both the significance and the volume of traffic information will therefore rise steeply in the future. Note that, besides reducing congestions or increasing driving comfort, such services also have a strong potential for improving safety on the roads.
To ensure its basic availability, general traffic information should continue to be freely accessible. However, it should also be possible to address specific premium services to selected customers and closed user groups.

The mobile.info project increases the potential of traffic information.
The problem
Traffic on Europe's roads is becoming heavier all the time. This trend will increase, particularly in a transit country such as Germany, as a result of new nations in Eastern Europe joining the European Union. The very success of road transport is creating more and more of a problem.
In addition to urgently needed infrastructural measures, further steps must be taken to make full use of previously unexploited capacity reserves, for example:
Reduction in local congestion, i.e. by supplying all road users with specific information so that they can avoid or divert around problem-zones
Proactive instead of reactive traffic management
