German motorists can look forward to receiving traffic information over a data channel with 400 times the capacity of traditional RDS-TMC services, thanks to a partnership between 2025 Mediamobile and 1692 TomTom on the first nationwide traffic service to be broadcast over Germany’s digital radio network, Mediamobile’s V-Traffic Premium DAB.

TomTom will provide the traffic content for the V-Traffic service, which is regarded as important in establishing digital radio as a new traffic data delivery channel for the automotive and consumer electronics industries in Germany and Europe.

Mediamobile’s V-Traffic Premium DAB traffic service is broadcast live over Germany’s DAB network using the TPEG protocol. The service has two key components; traffic alerts informing drivers of events such as accidents, road closures and roadworks, and traffic flow information providing accurate vehicle travel speed information covering 190,000km of Germany’s major roads.

The information is transmitted directly to motorists’ navigation or infotainment systems and is offered on a lifetime basis.

    Antaira Technologies’ marketing engineer Brian Roth explains why the increasing capacity of wireless bridges is reducing the cost of expanding and upgrading ITS networks. With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, the need for efficient transportation of both people and goods has never been greater and that pressure is unlikely to ease any time soon.
