Method and system for regulating switching of a traffic light

An apparatus for automatically announcing the arrival status of a vehicle to occupants of the vehicle. The apparatus stores route identification, trip identification, and destination identification for at least one predetermined route. The destination information includes, for each destination, at least a destination number, destination name, and a set of first and second latitude and first and second longitude coordinates defining a logical box associated with each destination. The apparatus also stores digital information corresponding to an announcement for each destination, inputs an intended route and trip identification at a starting point of the intended route and trip, and has a GPS receiver for determining the present position of the vehicle in latitude and longitude coordinates. The apparatus determines whether the present position of said vehicle in latitude and longitude coordinates is within a particular logical box on said predetermined route and, if so, outputs a digitized voice or visual alphanumeric display of the name of the destination to the occupants of the vehicle.
