TMC allows silent delivery of dynamic information suitable for reproduction or display in the user's language without interrupting audio broadcast services. Both public and commercial services are operational in many countries. When data is integrated directly into a navigation system, traffic information can be used in the system's route calculation.

A data management platform (DMP) is a software platform used for collecting and managing data. DMPs allow businesses to identify audience segments, which can be used to target specific users and contexts in online advertising campaigns. They may use big data and artificial intelligence algorithms to process and analyze large data sets about users from various sources. Advantages of using DMPs include data organization, increased insight on audiences and markets, and more effective advertisement budgeting. On the other hand, DMPs often have to deal with privacy concerns due to the integration of third-party software with private data. This technology is continuously being developed by global entities such as Nielsen and Oracle.
