Against the background of the enormous increase in the vehicle population and in traffic capacity which has occurred in the past and which has been paralleled by only a moderate growth in the roads infrastructure, telematic systems, a synthesis of telecommunication and information technologies, continues to grow in significance. Telematics appears all the more important as an uninterrupted growth in traffic demand is forecast for the future. In addition, the drivers of vehicles are confronted with a flood of information when driving on present-day roads, which increasingly results in stress and thus represents a danger to road safety. Mercedes-Benz will therefore be devoting increasing energies to telematic systems and services which help configurate traffic in a safer, more efficient and more environmentally compatible manner.
