Pilot scope & status
The Pilot TPEG service in Czechia is a pilot deployment of the TPEG standard for distribution of traffic and travel information on the Czech road network.
Commissioned by the Czech road and motorway directorate ŘSD (Ředitelství silnic a dálnic) and its national traffic information centre NDIC (Národní dopravní informační centrum). Operated by CEDA Maps a.s. in cooperation with TamTam Research s.r.o. as technical partner.

Source data
The pilot ingests DATEX II feeds from ŘSD / NDIC, published via the Czech National Access Point, and converts them to TPEG2 before publishing:
| DATEX II source | TPEG2 output | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| DATEX II - Common Traffic Information (snapshot) | TPEG2-TEC | Snapshot of currently active road network events. Republished as TPEG2-TEC, with each TPEG2 message carrying its own create / update / cancel lifecycle. |
| DATEX II - FCD data (predefined locations) v1.1 | TPEG2-TFP, static feed | Catalogue of monitored road segments and their location references. Republished as the TFP static feed. |
| DATEX II - FCD data v2 | TPEG2-TFP, dynamic feed | Live travel times, speeds, and flow levels on the monitored segments. Republished as the TFP dynamic feed. |
What's in scope
The pilot publishes traffic information for the Czech road network in two TPEG2 application formats:
- TPEG2-TEC: traffic events (incidents, congestion, road works).
- TPEG2-TFP: traffic flow and travel times on monitored road segments.
Delivery is over the IP protocol described in the Technical section.
Goals
Validate the format choices. Confirm that TPEG2-TEC and TPEG2-TFP work in practice for independent consumers.
Build a small consumer community. Find real consumers, learn their use cases, fold their feedback into the formats and the data itself.
Support the go/no-go decision. What we learn from the pilot will feed into a decision about whether TPEG2 distribution becomes a permanent part of Czech TTI.
What's out of scope
- No production SLA, support contract, or guaranteed availability. The pilot has a minimum committed duration (see status table) but no formal availability guarantee within that period.
- No DAB or other broadcast delivery. The pilot delivers data only over the internet.
- Not all TPEG2 application formats. Only TEC and TFP are published. Parking, weather, fuel price, and the rest are out of scope for now.
After the pilot
The pilot is a step toward a permanent TPEG2 service for Czechia, not the end goal. Whether it becomes permanent depends on what we learn here and on real consumer interest. The more concretely you tell us what you'd use the data for, the stronger the case.
