Abstract :
It is suggested that future mobile information systems will provide a wide range of capabilities far beyond the positioning and navigation functions of conventional in-vehicle systems. This will lead to applications in travel advisory, fleet and traffic management, mobile office, occupant activities, and vehicle/driver monitoring and control. The primary expected benefits of future mobile positioning, navigation, information, and communications systems, as well as the means of achieving these benefits, are summarized for each application area. Tables presenting the features of each individual application are given. The challenge to the developers of these systems will be to design hardware and software that will enhance, rather than degrade, overall road safety.<>
