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.

Top Level Trends
Market trends
Since 2010, an additional 11 markets have now been provided with traffic
information services based on broadcast or cellular delivery. These new
markets are mainly in Eastern Europe, Middle East and Asia. In the medium term
up to 2015, additional new markets are expected to be launched in South
America, Middle East and Asia.
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.
