Abstract

A system for providing a centrally planned, completely general routing system that assigns traffic routes to maintain optimal traffic system stability. The system includes a plurality of fixed computers, linked by a wide area network, which can communicate seemlessly with all vehicles in a region via a wireless communication system. The system is interactive, in that the fixed computers receive data such as desired route, position and segment transit time data from individual in-vehicle computer units and determine and communicate the system optimal route to each such in-vehicle unit.
