ABSTRACT:
A traffic information system includes: a past information database for storing past information, which is collected for road links in a predetermined area, of a past mobile object on a road; a current information database for storing running information, which is collected for the road links in the predetermined area, of a current mobile object; link correlation analyzing means in which correlations of traffic information among each road link in the predetermined area are calculated from the past information stored in the past information database, and output as link correlation information among the road links; combination calculating means for calculating weighting information for obtaining the current information as a sum of the link correlation information; and traffic information estimating means for calculating estimated traffic information for a link where the current information is not collected based on the link correlation information and the weighting information.
