1   Scope This document establishes the method of delivering Road Traffic Messages within a TPEG service. The TPEG-RTM application is designed to allow the efficient and language independent delivery of road information directly from service provider to end-users. The information provided relates to event and some status information on the road network and on associated infrastructure affecting a road journey. For example, limited information about abnormal operation of links in the network may be included, such as ferries, lifting-bridges, etc. The term “application” is used in TPEG specifications to describe specific applications, such as in this case the Road Traffic Message application, which comprises three information containers: the Message Management Container, the Application Event Container and the TPEG-Location Container. The first two Containers are fully described herein and the TPEG-Location Container is described in CEN . Each TPEG application (e.g. TPEG-RTM) is assigned a unique number that is called the application identification (AID). An AID is defined whenever a new application is developed. The AID is used within the TPEG-Service and Network Information Application (CEN ) to indicate how to process TPEG content and allows routing of data to an appropriate application decoder. AID = 0001 is assigned to the TPEG-Road Traffic Message application, described in this specification. A hierarchical methodology has been developed to allow the creation of messages from a set of TPEG-RTM tables, which are essentially word orient...
