The embodiment of the invention provides a method and a
system for prompting traffic condition information. The method comprises the following steps: a
server acquires the traffic condition information of a road network; a
client confirms a candidate running
route, and sends a traffic condition information request for the candidate running
route to the
server; the
server responds the traffic condition information request, extracts the traffic condition information of the candidate running
route from the traffic condition information of the road network, and sends the traffic condition information of the candidate running route to the
client; or the server actively sends the traffic condition information of the road network to the
client; the client displays the traffic condition information provided by the server. The method and the
system for prompting traffic condition information can prompt the traffic condition information in time, so as to improve the prompting efficiency. The method and the
system can be applied to various terminals to be used on different platforms and the different terminals, so that the application range is very wide.
