Transmitir informação de trânsito pelo HD

«Clear Channel Radio has begun transmitting traffic data using HD (high definition) Radio technology in 48 of the largest markets in the United States. "HD Radio is the future for broadcast data delivery, allowing us to not only deliver traffic data, but provide additional services as well," says Jeff Littlejohn, Clear Channel Radio executive vice president of distribution development. In addition, Clear Channel Radio has extended the reach of its real-time traffic data service -- RDS-TMC (Radio Data System Traffic Message Channel) -- to 19 new markets, including Albuquerque, N.M.; Birmingham, Ala.; and Montreal, Canada. Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network is now available in 68 cities, and the company plans to add more markets throughout 2007. "With the addition of these 19 markets, we cover over 160 million people with our traffic service for consumer devices," Littlejohn says. Clear Channel Radio's Total Traffic Network currently provides real-time traffic information to devices made by Garmin, TomTom, Mio-Mitac, Delphi, Kenwood, Clarion, Navigon, Cobra Electronics and Siemens VDO and supplies traffic content to several media outlets -- including Citadel Broadcasting, Univision, Fox Interactive Media, and others.»
