This paper describes the Swedish part of the implementation of a pan-European traffic information service on the Trans European Road Network using the technique of Radio Data System - Traffic Message Channel. RDS-TMC broadcasting has been tested in Sweden since 1989 and regular nation-wide test transmissions have taken place since 1994. Sweden is now implementing the RDS-TMC service. The standards, organisation and work-patterns that have evolved from the RDS-TMC service development are possible to refine and use when new technologies for dissemination reach the market.
