Traffic 57
Glossary
RDS: Radio Data System. Infrastructure that broadcasts digital information on the FM band. The
TrafficKit module can only receive and decode the free-access service.
TMC: Traffic Message Channel, one of the types of information that a Radio Data System can
broadcast.
TrafficKit: TrafficKit is the Magellan brand name for the RDS-Traffic module which receives the
Traffic messages.
Traffic Message: A message received by the TrafficKit module that contains the description of a
Traffic event.
Traffic Event: An event liable to disturb the flow of traffic. The list of possible Traffic events that can
be received are provided below, along with the corresponding road sign:
Alert Mode: Traffic events are received for informational purposes.
Re-routing Mode: This mode will reroute the vehicle if a Traffic event impacts the route, and a faster
alternative route is available.
Understanding How The TrafficKit Works
Please read the following statements before using the TrafficKit.
1. You can enable and disable Traffic event categories. By default, all categories are enabled.
2. Selected Traffic events will either alert and/or re-route you depending on the operating
mode.
3. All selected event categories will be displayed on the map screen in the form of traffic event
icons.
4. If you are not routing to a destination, the RDS function will only display Traffic events on
the map screen.
RDS-Traffic Operating Modes
Traffic events that impact your route can be processed in one of the following two modes:
Re-routing Mode. (Default) Traffic events affecting your route will trigger the receiver to automatically
calculate a new route, if a faster alternative route is available.
Alert Mode. Traffic events affecting your route will be reported to you in the form of warning
messages.
