TMC Information in GDF

TMC Location Structure in MultiNet® GDF Data

TMC Information is modeled in GDF in the following way:

In the TomTom® MultiNet® product the TMC Location References is stored on GDF Level 1 in the "RD" attribute of a Road or Ferry Element in the following way: "ABCCDEEEEE."

Where:
  • A = Direction of Road Element (from start Junction to end Junction) compared with the TMC chain direction:
    • + = in positive direction and external to the TMC point location;
    • - = in negative direction and external to the TMC point location;
  • B = EBU (European Broadcasting Union) Country Code;
  • CC = TMC Location Code;
  • D = TMC Direction of the Chain;
    • + = in positive direction and external to the TMC point location;
    • - = in negative direction and external to the TMC point location;
    • P = in positive direction and internal to the TMC point location;
    • N = in negative direction and internal to the TMC point location.
  • EEEEE = TMC Point Location Code (found in the official TMC location Databases).

The example below shows how the TMC attributes of the GDF Level 1 feature Road Element are stored in a GDF volume.
