Autoguide Electronic Route Guidance System

HC Deb 13 April 1988 vol 131 c125W

Mr. Wood

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what progress is being made with the Autoguide electronic route guidance system.

Mr. Channon

I have today helped the private sector to launch its Autoguide demonstration scheme, which covers much of the Westminster area and the corridor to Heathrow airport. I have also issued a consultation document on the following stage on the project : the London pilot system. I have placed copies in the Library.

Both the demonstration scheme and the London pilot system are important steps towards a national commercial Autoguide service, which will make an important contribution towards keeping traffic moving and improving the quality of road travel.
