	TMCForum.com :: What is Traffic Message Channel (TMC)?
		TMC traffic data are already being broadcast in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
		The TMC data are received by the vehicle radio and antenna, and decoded by a TMC decoder.
		This reconstructs the original message, using a database of event and location codes, which is presented to the driver as a visual or spoken message.

	GTM 11, FM TMC traffic receiver (includes antenna) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The GTM 11 is a small FM-band traffic receiver that provides real-time Traffic Message Channel (TMC) data to compatible Garmin GPS navigation products—which then depict and identify problem areas on their moving-map displays.
		Digitized and coded real-time traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel—which means that drivers can still listen to music or news programming on their car radios, without interference from the incoming FM traffic data transmissions.
		When the TMC information is received by the Garmin GPS unit and the unit is currently routing, the unit will display alternate options for the current route in order to lessen the effect of the traffic situation ahead.

	Traffic Management Improvement by Integrating Modern Communication Systems
		Traffic management systems can help free the driver from deciding how to find the best route because such systems gather as much information from the street network as possible and, based on that, calculate an optimized traffic flow.
		The principle of SOCRATES for transmitting traffic messages to enable dynamic route guidance is shown in Fig.
		Based on the prediction, suitable messages are generated to inform the in-car navigation system of traffic incidents and to control the traffic to avoid the development of congestion.

		The TTI messages are digitally coded in such a way, that they are language-independent.
		The coding also permits receivers to filter messages to the user, allowing only those messages that are relevant to the user’s journey, to be presented.
		The idea of TPEG will allow the generation of messages without the need for a "smart card" to carry location codes in a receiver and it will be designed so that various delivery technologies can carry the same message, without further compression.

		A very common source for real-time traffic information is the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) where the coded traffic messages are broadcasted by radio stations over an RDS-channel.
		Besides the fact that you would need the TMC-receiver the other drawback is that TMC uses a code to compress the message and you would need to decode the message first.
		The TICs make their traffic information available through the internet by using standard technology and common formats, especially based on XML and XSD.
