摘要： An object of the present invention is to provide a traffic information system that detects an unexpected incident such as a traffic accident or construction work from traffic information about surrounding road links. Historical traffic information is used to perform component analysis for a group of links that are targets of unexpected incident detection, and recovered traffic information for the historical traffic information is determined from computed top bases of the traffic information about the group of links. Difference statistical traffic information is generated from the difference between the historical traffic information and its recovered traffic information. For real-time traffic information, recovered traffic information for the real-time traffic information is determined from the top bases. The difference between the real-time traffic information and the recovered traffic information is compared with the difference statistical traffic information, and if the difference of the real-time traffic information is larger, the occurrence of an unexpected incident is determined.

摘要： When receiving a traffic information providing request, a traffic information providing apparatus analyzes which area's traffic information is requested based on the received request information. Traffic information of road links located in the requested area is read from the traffic information, and it is determined whether the road links' traffic information is similar or not. Similar links configure a link group, and traffic information corresponding to the link group is created. Traffic information of the configured link group is delivered to an in-vehicle information apparatus.
