Title
TPEG-ULR: A new approach for dynamic location referencing
Abstract
Real time traffic and traveller information (RTTI) services use various methods to describe the affected location of an event. As the successor to TPEG-LOC, the Universal Location Referencing (ULR) method of the TPEG standard family is a new, open and royalty-free method for dynamic location referencing that provides an efficient and compact coding of a geographical location both for purposes of human-readable presentation and for automated processing, e.g. in GPS navigation systems. TPEG-ULR introduces an innovative approach for dynamic location referencing based on Markov chains, but also supports mapless-client applications. Development of TPEG-ULR was motivated both by technical considerations and commercial issues with other location referencing methods. TPEG-ULR is especially suitable for public digital broadcasting applications such as DAB(+).
