BMW 3: Traffic bulletins via voice operation

Concept

The voice activation system can be used to ask questions about the current traffic situation depending on the destination guidance status. Information about the traffic situation is announced.

Traffic bulletins on the map

Concept

Traffic events can be displayed as symbols in the map view.

Traffic flow information can be displayed as colored lines along the individual roads in the map view. The line colors indicate the traffic density.

  • Black: road blocked.
  • Red: congestion.
  • Orange: stop-and-go traffic.
  • Yellow: heavy traffic.
  • Green: clear roads.
  • Gray: general traffic bulletins, for instance construction site.

General information

The display of the symbols for traffic events and traffic flow information is independent from the scale of the map and the position of the traffic obstruction.

With the use of destination guidance with intermediate destinations or online alternative routes, possible traffic events ahead are displayed in form of lighter symbols.
