This paper presents Mobile Traffic (M-Traffic), a multiplat-form online traffic information system, which provides real time trafficinformation based on image processing, sensor’s data and traveller be-haviour models. In order to estimate route delay and feed the optimalrouting algorithm a traffic microscopic simulation model is developed andsimulation results are presented. This mobile information service ubiqui-tously provides users with traffic information regarding their needs andpreferences, according to an alert system, which allows a personalisedpre-definition of warning messages.
