Abstract

A method for determining travel information of a vehicle on a predetermined route includes determining a usual travel time on the route and determining a current travel time on the route on the basis of a current traffic flow on the route. The method further includes determining a predicted travel time on the basis of a traffic flow on the route at the time at which the vehicle is expected to travel on said route. The method also includes providing a deviation of the predicted travel time from the usual travel time and providing a deviation of the predicted travel time from the current travel time.
