Abstract

The present invention relates to an assisted-driving system for car drivers using highways or roads in general, characterized in that said routes (1) are equipped with suitable radar sensors (3) and/or infrared devices which are fixed and transmit, over a wireless (radio, GSM) link or by means of optical fibers, the processed data related to trafiic conditions on the respective lanes, and are connected to suitable receivers or consoles installed on the cars in transit. Said system assists and informs the car driver in real time regarding traffic conditions or any traffic jams or road accidents or particular existing atmospheric conditions. <IMAGE>
