Abstract

A method of providing traffic information is described, together with a device for performing the same. The method comprises determining a location of a mobile device, receiving traffic information, and determining, with respect to a trip database storing information indicative of a personal road network of a user of the mobile device, whether traffic information associated with one or more road segments in the personal network within a predetermined distance of the current location has been received. One or more no-jam events are generated for respective road segments in the personal network for which it is determined that no traffic information has been received.
