Abstract

See full text

A method and system for obtaining traffic information regarding the travel time between two points using vehicle-mounted transponders. The system includes an upstream reader and a downstream reader. The upstream reader inserts a time stamp into a passing transponder. The downstream reader reads the time stamp and determines the travel time between the two readers. The downstream reader may accumulate a number of travel times from multiple transponders and calculate an average travel time. The downstream reader may then send the calculated travel time to a display sign for display to motorists. The displayed travel time may include a quantitative value or a qualitative assessment of the travel conditions.
