The authors, who are key figures in the development of RDS and RDS-TMC technology, use a step-by-step approach to overview the background, techniques, capabilities, and limits of these systems.
This comprehensive guide references and explains the most up-to-date enhancements to RDS and RBDS (the US specification of RDS) as adopted by the official standardization bodies of CENELEC in Europe and the NRSC of NAB/EIA in the USA. It also includes:
>The first comprehensive description of RDS-TMC and its implementation as pursued by the European Commission
>A detailed discussion of solution-enhancing alternative radio data systems
>RDS implementation information held by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the RDS Forum
Contents: What Can be Achieved with RDS and How Have the Relevant Specifications Developed. RDS in Europe vs. RBDS in the USA - Summary of Changes in the Latest Specifications. RDS Features Serving as Tuning Aids (PI, ECC, PS, AF lists, TP, Slow Labeling). Radio Programme Travel Information Services (TA, EON and EON-TA). Radio Programme Related Data Services (PTY, PTYN, RT, DI, PIN, Language id.). Open Data Application (ODA, AID). Impact on Intelligent Transport Systems (RDS-TMC, Dynamic Route Guidance, DGPS). Radio Paging (RP and Enhanced Radio Paging). Various Other Applications (CT, IH, TDC, EWS). RDS Encoders and the Universal Encoder Communication Protocol (UECP). Receivers. Other Radio Data Services: AMDS, SWIFT/DARC, DAB, GSM. The Future of RDS. Appendices.
Dietmar Kopitz and Bev Marks are engineers with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and were both actively involved in the development of the RDS. Both authors’ recent research activity include work with the European Commission’s 4th Framework Transport Applications Programme.

A text on RDS, 24 May 2000
By "pvr_raja" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: RDS: Radio Data System (Mobile Communications Library) (Hardcover)
The RDS is being heavily used in Europe. The books is mostly an engineering text book. It is also readable by ordinary folks who do not have advanced degrees in Engineering. It also serves as a reference. That is the unique feature of this book. I recommend this book to any one who is involved in RDS.It covers RDS, RDBS, Traffic Information Services, Intelligent Transport Systems and RDS-TMC, Basic and Enhanced Radio Paging, ODA, Differential GPS, etc.
A must have reference for RDS engineers. Here is a one fine book which is a source for multitude of information folks.

The Definitive Reference on RDS, 11 Feb 2011
By D Anderton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: RDS: Radio Data System (Mobile Communications Library) (Hardcover)
This book is definitely the definitive reference on all things RDS. The book details the developmental history of RDS (in glorious detail) and provides some helpful information from the design phase (e.g., the pulse shape was chosen to avoid interference with the legacy ARI system). The book is so thorough that by the end you will believe RDS is capable of supporting any feature (neglecting the very low data rates (1187.5 b/s--which is slow even for a dial-up modem). One note: the book is heavily oriented towards RDS features and message format. Details of the physical layer are relgated to the appendices. Fortunately the appendices are quite extensive.
