Australian telematics solutions provider 6030 Intelematics Australia took advantage of the 6456 ITS World Congress to announce a major network expansion of its real-time traffic service.
In one of the Southern Hemisphere's largest service rollouts, Intelematics will add more than 45,000 square miles (72,500 square kilometres) to the SUNA traffic channel’s RDS-TMC network by December 2014.
The network's coverage footprint will be expanded by more than 80 per cent and be available to more than 17.5 million Australian motorists following the rollout. Ten new broadcast areas have been included in the expansion covering additional Australian cities, major highways and arterial roads.
SUNA will collect and analyse more than 20 million traffic-flow measurements from fixed traffic sensors, vehicle probes and other sources each day. SUNA also provides motorists with live fuel price changes, parking availability and other useful data through its existing XML and TPEG networks.
Announcing the expansion, Intelematics chief executive officer Adam Game said: "This is one of the most extensive traffic information projects ever undertaken in Australia and positions SUNA amongst the most sophisticated traffic services in the world."
"SUNA will provide the most complete view of traffic conditions from around the country. The project includes establishing data collection, analysis and transmission of more than 97 per cent of metropolitan and intra-city traffic."
