    Competitive advantage of CE-Traffic Premium RDS-TMC service is based on smart use of TMC standard components to deliver trust-worthy solution for drivers. The service is composed of high quality traffic data, up-to date location table and high capacity RDS channel, all combined to bring TMC technology to the next level.

Traffic data

    CE-Traffic is a provider of high quality traffic data in Central and Eastern Europe. We provide traffic flow information using Floating Car Data (FCD) technology based on 25 million kilometers of GPS tracks generated daily by tens of thousands vehicles. Information about traffic flow is than fused with information about accidents, road works, closed lanes and others. Smart aggregation and regional filtering allows for broadcasting only relevant traffic information.

TMC Location Table

    The system is based on TMC Location Tables (LT) in Poland (created by CE-Traffic) and public Location Table in Slokavia. Our unique Polish LT considers not only major interconnecting roads and urban streets but also lower category roads commonly used by drivers e.g. shortcuts or alternative routes. Taking into consideration rapid development of Polish road network our Location Table includes all major future changes in the backbone network until the end of 2016. CE-Traffic TMC Location Table has been certified by TISA (2013-114-PL).

RDS Radio Channel

    Radio channel is often considered to be a drawback of RDS-TMC technology compared to GSM-based solutions. Partnering with EuroZet in Poland and FunRadio in Slokavia, CE-Traffic created TMC service which allows broadcasting high number of traffic messages and high update rate. In order to achieve it Poland is divided into 9 zones so that out of more than 1000 messages sent in a real-time, drivers receive only these which are geographically relevant. Slovakia is covered with a single zone broadcasting over 100 message during “traffic intensive” days. Thanks to update rate which is typically not longer than a few minutes, the messages are delivered fast and always contain the most up-to-date traffic information.
