ATX has launched an in-vehicle information service throughout France, available to owners of select Peugeot models.

Developed collaboratively with PSA Peugeot Citroën, the Peugeot Services Mobiles mobility assistance program offers a variety of operator-assisted services to subscribing French owners of Peugeot 1007, 207, 307,308, 407, coupé 407, 607, 807 and Expert models whose vehicles are equipped with Peugeot’s RT3 / RT4 system.

These services, provided from off-board the vehicle through ATX’s response centre in Düsseldorf, include:

• The ability to search and download areas of interest from a database containing information from the Michelin® Guide and Michelin® Green Guides, among other resources.
• Receipt of in-vehicle, automatically generated traffic alerts on predefined routes and downloads to the navigation screen of updated itineraries that integrate current traffic conditions.
• In-vehicle management of a personal address book.
• Identification of the location of automatic radar, speed-measuring devices throughout France.

ATX’s off-board routing engine is also able to generate a route that automatically diverts the traveller away from major traffic chokepoints and incidents.
