Purpose of Traffic Control Centres
The Traffic Control Centres (TCCs) project will provide the platform for the traffic management, control and information systems required for the next century. TCCs will allow the management of traffic at a strategic level on the nationally important core network in England.
They will:
- Improve journey time reliability.
- Reduce disruption caused by major incidents.
- Provide alternative route advice to minimise the effect of congestion and incidents.
- Minimise delays due to roadworks.
Influence road users' decisions before they set out on a journey about potential route, time and means of travel by providing reliable and accurate information.
One of the latest in-car navigation systems under development is Radio Data System - Traffic Message Channel (RDS-TMC), a new radio service broadcasting up to the minute traffic information for specific roads direct to your vehicle
