As new traffic information services are developed, there is a danger that the technologies or business models are not mature enough for the market place.
As part of SBD's Subscription Service these reports, also available individually, analyse the transition from RDS TMC to TPEG to help understand if, how and when vehicle manufacturers should adopt and deploy TPEG.
A growing number of vehicle manufacturers are actively planning or developing navigation systems capable of receiving next generation TPEG services. These early adopters, however, face a steep learning curve in transitioning from the relatively narrow implementation of RDS TMC to a highly flexible and continually evolving set of TPEG standards. This report provides a technical analysis of the potential pitfalls faced by early adopters of TPEG, particularly as many of the standards are still being defined and are likely to remain open to interpretation. The report also highlights the challenges and potential opportunities that vehicle manufacturers will face when considering the use of DAB and/or GPRS for delivering TPEG.
The number of RDS TMC services in Europe and across other parts of the world continues to grow, as service providers captialise on the increasing penetration of navigation and the growing consumer demand for improved dynamic route guidance.
This spreadsheet is part of the Traffic & Travel Research Stream from SBD's 2009 Subscription package, and provides a technical outline of all the current and planned RDS TMC services globally. Due to the significant number of upcoming and planned RDS TMC service, SBD has included the most up-to-date information available at the time of publishing this report. SBD will continue to investigate any changes to RDS TMC services for its next planned update of this report (due in April 2010)
This report analyses how TPEG services will need to adapt in order to meet future customer expectations. Additionally, this report highlights the challenge that service providers will face in choosing a cost-effective communication channel for delivering
TPEG messages, and how new and innovative business models can be created in order to increase revenue.
RDS TMC has become almost ubiquitous as the European standard for delivering traffic information to navigation systems, and TPEG is emerging as the next-generation approach for delivering higher quality traffic and travel content. This report provided in an easy-to-use excel format is part of Traffic & Travel research stream from SBD's 2009 subscription package and provides a 7-year sales forecast for the fitment of RDS TMC and the deployment of TPEG.
This report outlines the key stakeholders in the transition from national RDS TMC services to pan-European TPEG services. Additionally, the report analyses the applications and services that service providers and vehicle manufacturers should
prioritise. Finally, the report highlights the challenges that the automotive industry will face in delivering pan-European services using digital bearers.
This report provides a detailed overview of the changing traffic information industry in China and gives an independent view of each of the major cities with the methods used to gather, process and distribute the information.
Analysing public authority and private company offerings ‘Collecting and distributing traffic information in China’ provides straightforward research that is essential to develop a successful strategy.
This report provides an overview of the on-going competition between RDS TMC and
VICS to become established as the dominant technology for delivering traffic information to navigation systems in China.
The report considers the competitive environment, together with the political and market forces that will influence the potential success of each technology.
This study will be complemented during 2009 by SBD’s second report on traffic in
China. This will provide a detailed analysis of each traffic service provider in terms of data collection, processing, distribution and coverage.
