Getting in touch with Public Service Broadcasters in the German-speaking area is easier than ever: ARD (Germany) ORF (Austria) and SRG SSR (Switzerland) have established the BEST Consortium (Broadcasters European Solution for Travel Information).

Hosted at Institut für Rundfunktechnik (IRT Munich/Germany) the BEST Consortium will harmonise any travel information related activity of their shareholders.  The BEST Consortium has defined the need for a common position on TPEG development and applications as its core business. Editorial exchange of travel information will increase the services’ quality. BEST is a member of TISA.

The Global ITS community is invited to contact BEST as a portal to the market leaders for public service in the German-speaking area. The Front office is directed by Ronald Mies BEST Chairman is Thomas Kusche (ARD/WDR).
