A method for determining traffic conditions includes: collecting real-time
traffic information of a road; calculating a representative speed value
for the road by a fuzzy inference, from the collected real-time traffic
information and traffic condition factors having an effect on the road;
and transmitting the representative speed value to a terminal of a
vehicle traveling on the road corresponding to the representative speed
value. The representative speed is sensibly determined and reliable
information is supplied because the fuzzy inference's performance is
based on the information collected from the signal transmitter and based
on the factors which can affect the traffic conditions.
