• Abstract:
  In support of the Federal Highway Administration of the United States Department ; of Transportation, the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences has completed a ; laboratory and field test program designed to independently evaluate the ; performance of an FM subcarrier-based traveler information broadcast system. This ; system was developed by the MITRE Corporation to investigate the use of FM ; subcarriers for the broadcast of traffic data to vehicles on highways. The testing and ; evaluation program measured the Subcarrier Traffic Information Channel (STIC) ; system performance both in the laboratory and when installed in the subcarrier ; channel of a commercial FM broadcast station. STIC performance was measured ; and evaluated in a variety of reception environments in order to assist in the future ; prediction of STIC coverage in areas of the United States that differ dramatically in ; terrain and population density.
