RTTI - General question
How does the Real Time Traffic Information system getting it's information?
Are we BMW drivers with GPS automatically reporting the traffic situation back to BMW while driving? So your own driving on the road will be a part of the input to the RTTI?

My understanding is precisely that - it calculates routes using algorithms from data sourced via GPS, official updates (emergency service details), highways data & car information.
It would seem sensible for them to use their own source of data, wouldn't it? |

Sure it would.
Anyway, I have just sent a e-mail to the Swedish BMW customer service regarding the text "GPS data from vehicle fleets". Will see what they are answering on Monday. Will keep you updated.

This is an extract from the information at the back of the UK BMW X1 Price List regarding RTTI:
"The traffic information required for the Service is calculated by a variety of means including using what is known as Floating Car Data. In this sense, every ConnectedDrive-capable BMW functions as a “mobile traffic reporter” (Floa ting Car). The individual position and sensor data of the vehicle calculated during t he trip is transferred – completely anonymously – to BMW and a service provider togeth er with up-to-date time information"

Just spent last week down in Cornwall/Devon and I was impressed with how accurate the Traffic Info seemed to be. I was also wondering how it was gathering the info so thanks for this thread.
