Intelematics Australia announced today to have been selected by German PND maker NAVIGON to provide real-time traffic information to its NAVIGON 6300. This new PND just launched on the Australian market for AU9, traffic ready out of the box with a lifetime subscription.

Based on RDS-TMC, The SUNA traffic service was launched in Perth, Adelaide and Canberra in July of this year, following the launches of the service in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast during the past two years.

The service monitors traffic conditions using tens of thousands of road traffic sensors supplemented with other sources including probe vehicles, freeway sensors, tow truck allocations, roadwork information, special events and expert camera observers on major roads. Recent initiatives include surveying taxi drivers and extending street camera coverage to provide more accurate traffic flow estimates.
