Traffic Information for Navigation Systems
Services and Infrastructure for Real-Time, Historical, and Predictive Traffic Data Traffic information could become become an enormous enabler for both navigation and telematics services, if the data were readily available and of high enough quality. Historically the user adoption and economic potential of traffic data has been limited by poor quality and sporadic coverage, but this situation is changing. This study examines the collection, aggregation and delivery methods involved in the expanding market for traffic information in North America, Europe and Asia, and reviews the existing and evolving business relationships in the industry. It evaluates the use of embedded roadway sensors, cellular, GPS probe, acoustic sensors, video, radar, microwave and RFID for collection of traffic information, and the use of cellular, satellite, RDS-TMC, digital radio and other technologies for real-time delivery of that information. The key role of traffic data aggregators is also analyzed, and the growing use of historical and predictive traffic data is assessed. The report identifies key market drivers, with a thorough examination of the relevant issues and market players for each major region. Quantitative forecasts cover North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Within each, the forecasts describe the user base as well as installed infrastructure. Estimates of addressable markets are also included. What Does This Report Answer?
