TMC
Introduction to RDS-TMC
An RDS-TMC radio station transmits free-of-
charge RDS-TMC traffic reports in addition to
the radio programme. COMAND can receive
the RDS-TMC traffic reports and take them
into consideration for dynamic route guid-
ance. Thus, for example, the navigation sys-
tem can guide you around a traffic jam.
In Germany, COMAND uses top-quality traffic
data provided by T-Systems Traffic for the
TMCpro traffic jam warning service. This
information is available nationwide and 24
hours a day. In contrast to the public TMC
service, TMCpro uses reports from public
sources. Moreover, TMCpro utilises exclusive
data from its own automated sensor network
for monitoring traffic conditions. The traffic
announcements which are read over public
radio stations (TA) may differ from TMCpro
traffic announcements.
Dynamic route guidance
The Dynamic route is the same type of route
as the Fast route. In addition, COMAND
takes RDS-TMC traffic announcements that
have been received into consideration
when calculating the route for dynamic route
guidance. If a quicker route is determined due
to reception of an RDS-TMC traffic announce-
ment, the navigation system changes the
route. If possible, it will bypass blockages.
