Being from Sydney, I was amazed to see you guys have solved this particular problem on your motorways (time to destination based on traffic).

Is it good? I was just roadtripping through.

being from Canberra, I think congestion is when the traffic is so busy I need to slow down from 80 to 70 :)

actually I'm in Perth at the moment and we have plenty of congestion here, but at least we don't have to pay to be a part of it

I have no idea how accurate those times are, I always assumed they would just be basic approximations but you may well be right that they could be more in depth.

When I lived there up to a couple of years ago, they were surprisingly accurate, even during fairly heavy traffic.

I can't recall the exact details, but from memory they use road counters at entries and exits to measure traffic numbers within sectors and, based on theoretical maximum number of cars per sector, predict whether traffic is capable of flowing at the speed limit or at some calculated reduced speed for each sector. The speed calculations, along with each sectors' distance, give you predicted trip time to the various exits on the display.

As I said, don't quote me, but that was my understanding.
