Abstract	Within our society, the demands regarding individual mobility are increasing continuously. Thus, also the amount of traffic that is produced on highways and within cities is intensified. For this reason, it will be more and more important to manage and to guide the individual traffic so that the capacity of traffic networks can be exploited more efficiently and that traffic jams are reduced. For just-in-time traffic management, information and services have to be combined in a suitable way to support the mobile users. An approach for this purpose can be delivered by the NEXUS project. It aims at the development of a generic and open platform that offers the possibility to access socalled location-based information and services. NEXUS is currently being carried out within a research group supported by the DFG (German Research Council) in cooperation between the Institute for Photogrammetry, the Institute of Parallel and Distributed High-Performance Systems and the Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering of the University of Stuttgart. The central task of the project deals with data management aspects with respect to location awareness. Concerning traffic aspects, current data and navigation services can be combined within the NEXUS platform in order to improve the individual traffic management. Within this paper, the architecture of the platform as well as the basic aspects of the Augmented World Model will be described in more detail. Within this context, also the integration of different data sources within the platform and the services provided by NEXUS will be presented. Furthermore positioning techniques within NEXUS will be discussed.
