N2 - Detailed and reliable information about the current traffic state is hardly obtainable by the road user. Therefore, we propose a web based visualization of the current and future traffic load of the autobahn network of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. This novel traffic information system named autobahn. NRW is based on an efficient and highly realistic traffic flow model, which is fed by traffic data from 4,500 detecting devices across the road network every minute. The way entries and lane-blocks are integrated is completely new. We use the three-phases-approach which has a higher degree of realism then ordinary approaches. The results of the traffic simulation are published by a graphical user interface which can be accessed at http://www.autobahn.nrw.de.
