The need of Maintenance at our highways and roads (road works) together with the growing amount of traffic lead to enlarged travel times. Infrastructural obstructions at the area of road works also lead to increased risk of crashes.

At the moment the only way to use a completely automated system for traffic data collection and traffic control is a permanently installed system. Implementing such a system costs a lot of money and is not possible for any temporary usage. Because of that only a very small part of the highway system is equipped with such systems. For temporary usage at infrastructural constrictions there is no real time system on the market right now.

All other possibilities, to provide information for the driver, are static traffic signs, with which it is not possible to include actual traffic data like travel time or traffic jam warnings (Except for generally warnings like: “Possible Queues ahead!”). Road users do not get travel time information through constricted sections of the highway, which is especially negative for business traffic times.
