Detailed analysis of 200 traffic information services from 60 service providers across 55 countries Selecting a traffic information provider for each of the markets worldwide is a challenge. A clear view of the service providers active in each country along with details about their geographic coverage, encryption and delivery channels is needed to make this decision. SBD provides this information in their latest interactive database titled 'Global benchmark of real-time traffic information services'.

This guide details the traffic services available in over 50 countries globally from nearly 60 suppliers. It analyses the market trends, technology trends and consumer requirements. Each country is analysed and each service provider is individually profiled. In addition, the guide provides analysis of the global traffic information industry, looking at current trends and predicting changes expected in the next 3 years.

In addition to the benchmark of services, this guide also covers new markets, key players, OEM contracts, trends for data collection and delivery, and consumer demands in key countries.

- Insights into the various traffic suppliers used across 40 different OEMS like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Shanghai GM and Toyota

- Overview of the sources and managers of traffic data along with the encoding and delivery details in over 50 countries

- Details of alliances and partnerships between the collectors, managers and distributors of traffic data

With over 200 slides, this unique interactive database covers the 190 live or planned services from 60 providers in 55 countries in eight regions ~ Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middles East, Asia, Australasia and Africa.

Each service provider is assessed individually and the complex interrelationships between industry players is described graphically through flow charts for each country. This assessment covers the original data sources and the roles of collectors, managers and distributors. Profiles for each provider are included in the Global benchmark of real-time traffic information services. These include details of coverage and contracts with vehicle manufacturers and system suppliers.

Service provider trends

The leading players identified in this analysis, such as INRIX, Mediamobile, TomTom, Be-Mobile and Navteq, are continuing to expand their coverage with the aim of being able to offer a 'one-stop shop' global provision to vehicle manufacturers and their Tier-1 suppliers.

OEM trends

Approximately 40 vehicle manufacturers are using traffic information services across the world. In most markets, the number of OEMs that have contracts with commercial service providers remains relatively small. France, UK and USA are the exception to this trend with most vehicle manufacturers paying to access traffic services in these markets.

Technology trends

RDS TMC has retained its status as the dominant delivery method with only a few vehicle manufacturers deploying IP-based services through cellular. Over the next three years, the use of cellular delivery will increase while analogue RDS TMC is expected to remain important and digital radio will begin to gain traction in some European markets and China.

Consumer trends

Drivers continue to rank traffic information as one of the most important Connected Car services. This is uniform across consumers surveyed by SBD in Brazil, China, Europe, Russia and the USA.
