Abstract
This paper presents an architecture for a driver
information system using smartphones and discusses
experiences from the first tests and similar information
systems. The architecture is based on an existing public
transport passenger information system, called Noppa. The
idea is to provide drivers information on speed limit,
street name, road accidents, traffic jams, road
conditions and other safety related information regarding
the route or driving direction. A software is installed
to the user's mobile phone and it connects to an
information server. Information is presented as simple
graphics and sounds. The software must not require input
from the user while driving or take too much of the
driver's attention. The concept has also some national
aspects because of Finland's high interest in mobile
technologies, relatively low population density, lack of
automobile industry and winter weather.
