SUNA Traffic Channel moving to Phase 2

Your IT - Mobility

Changes to the SUNA Traffic Channel service will lead to greater accuracy and improved coverage.


The accuracy of traffic flow reporting to the SUNA Traffic Channel is set to improve later this year.

SUNA Phase 2, due to go live in the third quarter of 2010, will add speed data received from "thousands" of vehicles in order to deliver more accurate reports of traffic congestion.

The improved service will not involve any additional charge to users.

SUNA Traffic Channel provides up to the minute road information, piggybacking the signal onto commercial FM radio broadcasts. The data can be processed by appropriately equipped GPS navigation systems, and some models will automatically re-route around bottlenecks rather than simply alerting the driver.

More than 30% (by volume) of the GPS systems being sold are SUNA capable, and the system is also available on built-in navigations systems from Nissan and Ford, as well as on some smartphone navigation apps.

Where is the improved data coming from? Please read on.
