Description / Abstract:
This SAE Standard provides a table of textual messages meeting the
requirements for expressing
"Radio Data Systems" (RDS) phrases commonly used in the ITS industry.
They can be used both over
the RDS subcarrier transmission media as part of a 37-bit long "Group
8a message" as well as being
used to provide a common content list of phrases used in a wide number
of other media and
applications.
This document SHALL define the normative index values to be used,
extending the CEN established
list to provide phrases needed by US practitioners. This standard
provides non-normative textual
phrases which MAY be used by implementers to ensure intelligible
results. This document SHALL
follow the formats and rules established in SAE J2540 in the
expressions, manipulations, and use of
such tables.
It should be pointed out that within the rules established by this
document a variety of final
table are all considered "compliant" with the document, and may vary
as fits the needs of
implementers.
