DANTMC - broadcast of RDS/TMC (ALERT-C) from DATEX based traffic information

This program can be used to generate a stream of RDS/TMC (ALERT-C) traffic information from a DATEX source.
The program is a 32 bit program that runs unattended on a Windows 95 or NT4 standard platform producing UECP for direct output to radio broadcasters.
The system is based on a Oracle 7.3 database that holds all necessary tables with Datex situations, static tables for conversion (mainly rdsmdef, rdscode) and RDS location data with names and details of every area or point covered.
The product comes with a .DLL that allows integration with other traffic information systems. E.g. if another supplier has produced a program capable of entering Datex messages, the DLL can be used to display a human readable version of the RDS/TMC that will be produced by DANTMC, if the situation is submitted.
The core of the system is the score based algorithm that converts from Datex to ALERT-C based on rules about how many groups the ALERT-C message may concist of etc.
The system is programmed in a language independent fashion, and with the .DLL it is even possible to view a selected message in different languages.
Currently the static tables contains English and Danish text strings.
The program produces a number of log files in HTML format, allowing status and log information about the running system to be viewed on an Intranet from a standard internet browser like Microsoft Internet Explorer.
System initialization data to the program is stored in the database itself, and include information about default language, RDS encoder identification, rules for the conversion from Datex to ALERT-C, speed of TMC channel etc.
The program comes with a complete set of SQL scripts, control files and Excel spreadsheets to recreate all Oracle tables required.

The system also produces a HTML file with links to the 5 most recent announcements allowing TIC operators on an intranet to listen to the last 5 traffic announcements at any time. The system runs on a standard windows 95/98/NT platform with a standard sound card.
