Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a method for receiving traffic information by an RDS receiver which is capable of receiving RDS broadcasting wave including EON information, wherein the method comprising the steps of: extracting frequency data of each of broadcasting stations of other networks from the EON information to store in a memory means; searching a broadcasting station from other networks broadcasting traffic information on the basis of the prestored frequency data on condition that the traffic announcement identification code becomes 1; and receiving the traffic information being broadcast from the thus selected station from other networks, interrupting a reproduction of a recorded source being operated at that time; and simultaneously informing the listener by a predetermined alarm method that the traffic information currently being received is not from the original station, but from a station of another network. By use of the above receiving method, traffic information of a station of another network can be automatically received taking advantage of the newly settled EON information, interrupting the reproduction of a sound source being then operated, and furthermore, the driver is made aware that the traffic information currently being broadcast is whether from a station in the originally tuned network or a newly obtained one from another network. <IMAGE>
