Title:
Road Web Markup Language: XML for Road Information Distribution on the Net
Abstract:
The Civil Engineering Research Institute of Hokkaido, Japan has been promoting the ITS/Win Research Program for research and development of ITS technology intended for Hokkaido's cold and snowy climates. In this program, the XML-based Road Web Markup Language (RWML) has been developed. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a nextgeneration Internet language. The research and development includes an on-demand server technology that will enable road users to access a variety of information, concerning roads, sightseeing, events, and municipal services including facilities, weather information and disaster prevention, using the in-car mobile terminals of a car navigation system or Internet-accessible mobile phones. This paper outlines the characteristics of RWML in comparison of XML and HTML, history of development and results of field experiments.
