About TMC

TMC, the International Standard for digital traffic information services, had its origins in Europe in the mid 1990’s.  Since then, TMC services have been launched across Europe and North America, and are beginning to be seen in Asia. 

Adopting TMC ensures that traffic-ready navigation hardware and other end-user applications designed for Europe or North America will operate with little or no modification in Australia.  The Australian approach enables Australian consumers to benefit from the global economies of scale that has made TMC a very affordable addition to vehicle and portable navigation systems. 

Already a number of Navigation system suppliers have indicated that they will be supporting the TMC traffic services in their Australian products, as have the digital suppliers.  The TMC Standard is also used as the input for most web and wireless mapping, navigation and traffic services.
