Clear Channel Radio’s Total Traffic Network (CCTTN) has become the first company to launch real-time traffic services over HD radio channels. The service, which delivers updated traffic information with over 500 messages per minute, is live and operational in 50 markets today. Dual Electronics has launched the first commercial personal navigation device to offer this service.
The traffic data for this service is created by a combination of Clear Channel’s Total Traffic Network and Inrix floating car data. All the data that is provided is continuously monitored and updated by Clear Channel’s staff of local traffic-data producers.
“We are dedicated to providing accurate traffic information in the fastest, most efficient way possible and are proud to now offer our advanced services via HD radio channels,” said Jeff Littlejohn, executive vice president of distribution development at Clear Channel Radio. “Even in the largest metropolitan areas, real-time traffic information is transmitted in less than a minute, providing a quick, reliable way for drivers to get where they need to go safely.”
