Summary

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.
