CONNECTing TMC to Central and Eastern Europe with new brochure!
Date: 16 March 2007
 New 10-page brochure – in six different language versions - spreads the word about Traffic Message Channel broadcast traffic information.
Whether in Budapest or Brno, Ljubljana or Lodz, understanding the process of bringing TMC broadcast traffic information to a new country or area has just been made easier thanks to a new brochure published by the EC-supported CONNECT Euro-regional project - in which ERTICO is a participant.
Available in English, Slovak, Slovenian, Czech, Polish and Hungarian, the 10-page publication gives a basic explanation of the process of bringing TMC broadcast traffic information to a new country or area. Traffic Message Channel (TMC) makes it possible to inform drivers, via their navigation systems, about delays, problems or dangerous events on their route, and can therefore improve the efficiency and safety of road travel.
In addition to an introduction to TMC services, the brochure includes information on:
- Service chains
- Development tasks
- Traffic data collection and processing
- Broadcast
- Organisational factors/business case
- Receivers and service uptake
- Cross-border services
