TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a broadcast service supplied by RDS (Radio Data System)
providers* on the FM band. RDS TMC is a radio technique whereby inaudible digital information
is transmitted alongside a normal radio program. RDS broadcasters transmit realtime
messages about traffic events to drivers in their own languages instantly. This information can
