Abstract
Traffic congestion is an unpleasant fact of modern life. Although difficult to quantify precisely, congestion must cost Californians millions of dollars per day. Since further extensive construction of freeways is unlikely, information technology is being increasingly looked to for amelioration by providing information allowing more efficient use of existing freeways. Statistics plays a major role in such efforts.
