Summary

A growing number of vehicle manufacturers are actively planning or developing navigation systems capable of receiving next generation TPEGservices. 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 TPEGstandards. 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.
