TMC/Tagging scheme

This page describes the (old) tagging scheme for TMC tagging based on the following keys:

• TMC:CID:TABCD:LocationCode
  • TMC:CID:TABCD:Direction
  • TMC:CID:TABCD:NextLocationCode
  • TMC:CID:TABCD:PrevLocationCode

See taginfo for the current state of use.

Usage

These codes are send via broadcast-radio and satellite-radio as the location-identifier for traffic-messages (e.g. traffic jams and accidents). Such locations are identified by a location-code and optionally a direction + extend. Many location-codes have clearly identified next and previous location-codes. Direction can be forward or reverse and extend is the number of steps in that direction.

TMC:CID:TABCD:LocationCode

This key is used to add the TMC location-code to a map-element TMC/TMC_Import_Germany#Tagging_Schema. The fields:

• (CID) is replaced by the country-id (e.g. 58 for Germany)
• (TABCD) is replaced by the table-code (e.g. 1 for the only table of Germany).

These values are given in the national TMC LocationCodeList.

Note: a node can only have 1 location-code per cid-tabcd -pair. Use different, nearby nodes on intersections.

Note: the unique CID(e.g. 58) used here is not the transmitted but a non-unique CCID(e.g. 0xD) and mapped to the CID via COUNTRIES.DAT of the LCL.

CID	CCD (in messages) first 4 bit of PI	Country	bounding-box of radio-area
17	0x1	Germany (old?)	todo
1	0x9	Albania	todo
...	0x...	...	todo
29	0xD	Lybia
...	0x...	...	todo
46	0xD	Serbia	todo
...	0x...	...	todo
58	0xD	Germany (current LCL)	todo
6	0x6	Belgium	todo
7	0xF	Bosnia Herz.	todo
8	0x8	Bulgaria	todo
9	0xc	Croatia	todo

TMC:CID:TABCD:Direction

This key is used to indicate that the given map-element only represents this location-code in positive (/negative) direction and that another or other map-element(s) represent it if asked for the same location-code in negative(/positive) direction.

To add the TMC location-code to a map-element TMC/TMC_Import_Germany#Tagging_Schema. The fields:

• (CID) is replaced by the country-id (e.g. 58 for Germany)
• (TABCD) is replaced by the table-code (e.g. 1 for the only table of Germany).

These values are given in the national TMC LocationCodeList.

TMC:CID:TABCD:NextLocationCode

This key is used to give the next location-code in positive direction. To add the TMC location-code to a map-element TMC/TMC_Import_Germany#Tagging_Schema. The fields:

• (CID) is replaced by the country-id (e.g. 58 for Germany)
• (TABCD) is replaced by the table-code (e.g. 1 for the only table of Germany).

These values are given in the national TMC LocationCodeList.

TMC:CID:TABCD:PrevLocationCode

This key is used to give the next location-code in negative direction. To add the TMC location-code to a map-element TMC/TMC_Import_Germany#Tagging_Schema. The fields:

• (CID) is replaced by the country-id (e.g. 58 for Germany)
• (TABCD) is replaced by the table-code (e.g. 1 for the only table of Germany).

These values are given in the national TMC LocationCodeList.

Optional tags

The following optional tags may be used on all imported elements:

Way or Node	Tag	Value	Discussion
	TMC:cid_CID:tabcd_TABCD:Point:TypeName	english name of the Type	All elements have a type and it's english name is given in the LCL.
	TMC:cid_CID:tabcd_TABCD:TypeName:loc	local name of the Type	All elements have a type and it's local name is also given in the LCL.
	TMC:cid_CID:tabcd_TABCD:SubTypeName	english name of the Type	Many elements have a type and it's english name is given in the LCL.
	TMC:cid_CID:tabcd_TABCD:SubTypeName:loc	local name of the Type	Many elements have a type and it's local name is also given in the LCL.
	TMC:cid_CID:tabcd_TABCD:IsUrban	yes/no	Does the location have urban characteristic.
	TMC:cid_CID:tabcd_TABCD:IntersectionCode	LOC	next location in a circular list of all locations meeting here
	TMC:cid_CID:tabcd_TABCD:isTERN	yes/no	is this element part of the TERN network?
