About the Seminar
In this seminar talk, Bev Marks - the European Broadcasting Union specialist - will describe the origins of TPEG and the published international standards, together with new TPEG applications and their reasons for development. TPEG stands for Transport Protocol Expert Group - a slight parody of JPEG and MPEG, but with no less a serious intention of developing Traffic and Travel Information applications, and future applications so far not approached for the end-user traveller. TPEG satisfies a key requirement for simultaneous delivery from a single service provision activity to the latest broadcast and internet delivery channels. The TPEG Toolkit provides a language independent solution for TTI service providers by describing a "words" table based hierarchical message construct that allows easy translation and extensions.
Bev Marks will describe the latest status within the Traveller Information Services Association (TISA) which has recently agreed with CEN ISO to be the "excellence centre" for ongoing TPEG specifications maintenance and developments. Currently a number of TISA-Specifications are undergoing TISA Membership review prior to delivery for international standardisation - potentially doubling the size of the current TPEG Standards family!
