The Traveller Information Services Association (TISA) has published specification and guideline documents for the explicit transmission of Location Table Country Codes in TMC (Traffic Message Channel).

According to ERTICO,

“The specification and guideline contain comprehensive instructions on the technical method and deployment conditions for enabling a service provider to transmit the Location Table Country Code (LTCC) explicitly and separately from the Country Code contained in the PI code (PICC) of an FM RDS broadcast, therefore overcoming issues noted with TMC deployment in some markets.”

The specification, “SP09008”, and guideline, “SP09009”, documents are available to TISA members on the Documents page of the TISA website: www.tisa.org.
