ABSTRACT:
A device and method to enable the prediction of a traffic jam even when the road environment changes. On the basis of up-to-the-minute, i.e., current, traffic jam information and changes from the preceding traffic jam information, the current traffic state is estimated. On the basis of the up-to-the-minute traffic jam information and the current traffic state, the current traffic jam degree is predicted. The results can be used in a conventional navigation method and apparatus to plot driving routes for a vehicle.
