Abstract (en)

Described herein are a method and a system for estimating the arrival time (ETA i ) of a vehicle (2) in a given point of its path, in which the arrival time (ETA i ) is determined on the basis of the time taken by the vehicle (2) to cover the distance between the current position of the vehicle and the point of passage and in which the time taken by the vehicle (2) to cover said distance is calculated on the basis of a historical mean time of coverage of said distance and of a time taken by at least one preceding vehicle to cover it.
