The BMW Group has presented a raft of new safety and traffic technologies at the Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress in Vienna.

The company's display focuses on a range of systems described as Urban Mobility concepts, designed to integrate new software and hardware applications with its ConnectedDrive systems.

The DriveNow package, available in a few major German cities, uses an app to direct a user to its car-sharing initiative featuring MINI and BMW cars.

Car sharing is a swipe-in/swipe-out system similar to Australia's Flexicar or GoGet, but with the added advantage of leaving the car at your destination rather than returning it to the pick-up point.

Urban Navigation involves a suite of applications to help keep you moving through traffic, drawing on both local traffic information and locally collected data for more efficient routing.

Complementing the traffic information is a research project aiming to help the driver manage their driving depending on the next traffic light state.

The system is intended to tell the driver or rider whether they'll make it through without breaking the law, or whether to apply the brakes smoothly.
