DAB-TPEG/TPEG traffic data support

[Supermagnum]

Hi, since DAB-TPEG/TPEG traffic data is free In my country, and delivered by the dab+ network is it possible to add support for it?
Many people uses a dab+ usb device.
TPEG applications include, among others, information on road conditions, weather, fuel prices, parking or delays of public transport.

It is certainly possible to add support for it. We already have an interface for traffic using traffic news. The only app on android providing this data to navit is afaik qz (https://gitlab.com/mvglasow/qz). One could certainly also implement DAB-TPEG along the same lines. What do you think @mvglasow?

Note that the Norwegian national FM network is defunct. All data goes on DAB+.

There are, in fact, two apps: Qz and RoadEagle. The latter gets data from Internet sources but uses a newer version of the TraFF transport protocol, which is better suited to transmitting large bursts of messages, rather than one message at a time (which is what happens with TMC).

If anyone wants to take a stab at it, look at both apps and use it as a base for implementing something for DAB-TPEG. The transport format and protocol are intentionally technology neutral. Take a look at the specification at https://gitlab.com/traffxml/traff. A minimum TraFF message is just a pair of points (from/to) with GPS coordinates and a predefined event code, which can be generated from a number of other formats.
