A new project to enhance the broadcasting of real-time traffic data around Hanover has been successfully completed by Germany’s Lower Saxony consortium (ECODyNIS).

According to Radiomagonline, the Digital Audio Broadcasting + (DAB+) technology used as part of the project reportedly delivered faster data rates.

The process begins by detecting traffic information around the Hanover area and further automatically converting them to the TPEG format.

"The DAB+ technology used as part of the project reportedly delivered faster data rates."

Soon after message traffic gets immediately converted, the data will be transferred to the DAB+ network, before being transmitted on channel 5C.

According to the consortium, vehicles that can capture and register the data are highly responsible for the précised operation of the system.

Using the new system, route to a destination will automatically integrated in the vehicles’ navigation system before beginning a trip, further saving the driver’s time, while eventually trimming down CO² emissions.

In addition, for drivers of battery-powered vehicles, the decrease of time exhausted on the road will boost the probability that the destination would be reached safely.

The consortium comprises German firms, including Volkswagen, Delphi Germany, Elektrobit Automotive work, and Media Broadcast, as well as the Hanover region and city.
