INTEGRATED SYSTEM OF NAVIGATION AND COMMUNICATION IN JAPAN

Abstract In this paper a brief sketch of the projects in Japan relating to traffic information, navigation and communication systems is given. First the general background and present situation of road traffic information facilities are explained. Then the present developments and the future plans to integrate navigation and communication systems are presented. Finally, the contents of the discussions concerning the developments of dynamic route guidance system which is based on the integrated system are introduced .
