Traffic management system

A traffic management system provides traffic information and allows controlling and influencing traffic in a traffic network, such as a street network in a city. The system includes a traffic management center with a generator for the central creation of an information message for road users. The traffic management system includes terminals to be carried along by the road users for receiving and outputting the information message. Data transmitters transfer the information message from the traffic management center to the terminal. The generators are configured to localize the information message by assigning a location code for destination-oriented transmission and/or output of the located information message. The location code represents a location or section of the traffic network relating to the information message. The road user on the move within the traffic network can be provided directly and explicitly with up-to-date information messages.
