Verfahren zum Informieren einer Zentrale über den von einem Fahrzeug in einem Verkehrsnetz zurückgelegten Weg, Endgerät, Zentrale

A terminal, an information centre and a process for informing (13) an information centre (107) about the path followed by a vehicle in a road network are disclosed to enable an efficient transmission of data and a faithful reconstruction of the followed path. The invention in particular enables informing a traffic information centre about the path followed by a vehicle (101) equipped with a terminal in a road network. A terminal (102) equipped with a bearing device (20) repeatedly senses data which represent the momentary location of the terminal (102). The terminal defines support points (108 to 112) at several locations, on the basis of criteria stored in the terminal, and information concerning these support points (108 to 112) is transmitted (13) from the terminal (102) to the traffic information centre (107).
