Passengers will be able to know the time it will take for them to reach the airport before they actually drive there.
The system will allow the passengers to calculate the time and start their journey accordingly and it will also help them to take an alternate route before they get stuck in the traffic.
The traffic information can be accessed online, through the traffic information signs on the airport premises, or by tuning into the Ö3 traffic information service.
There are special cameras installed along the A4 Eastern Motorway and the B9 country road which is capable of registering the licence plates of vehicles at specified points and calculates capable the precise time required to drive between these two points.

"Each day some 60,000 people depart from or arrive at Vienna Airport, and about 45,000 vehicle movements to the airport are registered.
