Overview TMC
If your navigation device is being used with optional TMC kit
(ND-TMC1), the system can access current traffic reports and
can, if necessary, dynamically change the route in order, for
example, to avoid a traffic jam.
If you are using AVIC-S1 without the TMC kit, then please read
the next chapter.
TMC operating mode The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is based on a news
system. Traffic information is recorded continually which is done
automatically by sensors on the motorways and by the police.
This information is then forwarded to the radio stations without
delay. It is digitally coded, differentiated according to routes and
driving directions and transmitted inaudibly.
The TMC kit ND-TMC1 extracts the TMC data from the RDS
signal and provides the navigation software AVIC-S1 with them.
AVIC-S1 can show traffic problems (e.g. construction sites or
jams) graphically on the map or in the form of a list.
The transmitted traffic reports can be taken into consideration
when calculating the route. The navigation system indicates any
problems on the calculated route and can calculate an alternative
route if requested to do so.
AVIC-S1 features dynamic navigation, which is well adapted to
the current traffic situation.
