ABSTRACT:
A traveling guidance system provides a traveling vehicle with various types of data indicating the flow of traffic to smooth travel. The speed and pass time data of the preceding vehicle is sent to an electronic wave tag laid on a road surface. The electronic wave tag then sends the data to the succeeding vehicle when it passes over the electronic wave tag. Furthermore, the received data is sent to a control center through communication equipment, which predicts the occurrence of traffic congestion based on the speed and pass time data of vehicles at each point and sends the prediction to electronic wave tags at points where the occurrence of traffic congestion is predicted. Traffic data from the control center is sent to passing vehicles through the electronic wave tag and each passing vehicle controls its travel based on the traffic data.
