efficiently produced from traffic information made of "road
geometry data" and "event location data." The association
between each link on a digital map and a rectangle forming
an event presenting unit on the deformed map is set in

matching between received road geometry data and digital
map data is carried out by a map matching portion 22, a
road section on the digital map is specified, a link on the
digital map corresponding to the location of an event is
specified based on received event information data and the
digital map data 23 for said road section, and a rectangle
to represent event information based on the event
information data on the deformed map is determined based on
the previously set association for the link. In this way,
level 2 traffic information can efficiently be produced
based on the "road geometry data" and "event location

Abstract: A synthetic slag is produced by a high temperature combustion reaction between coal ash having a high carbon content, and a source of lime such as cement kiln dust. The carbon content of the coal ash is oxidized by oxygen gas, which typically is derived from air or an air/oxygen combination in an exothermic reaction and the heat generated is exploited in the melting process. In this way the gaseous products will typically comprise nitrogen, unreacted oxygen and carbon dioxide, and heat energy can be readily recovered from the hot off gas products evolving during the combustion reaction. The synthetic slag may be pelletized and employed as lightweight mineral aggregate or milled to cement fineness to provide slag cement.
