|
|
Apparently, a team at Portsmouth University has devised a GPS system which communicates with other GPS units and analyses traffic conditions.
There was only a brief report on my local radio station and it sounds a bit like real-time TMC with direct communication between GPS units rather than needing to be processed and transmitted via the FM-RDS or GPRS systems
According to the report, this technology will be on the shelves within 2 years.
Has anybody else heard anything about this technology? _________________ Andy

I'm sure i read something similar a while back regarding monitoring the movement of mobile phones (Vodafone springs to mind) whilst travelling to determine potential traffic hold ups.... |

Yes, I remember that too, but this definitely mentioned GPS units communicating directly with each other.
On the shelf within 2 years....mmmmm it should be ready for beta testing soon - I think Darren should get in there and acquire some evaluation units _________________ Andy

Not that new, DASH in the US have units that communicate with each other via WiFi and GSM to share traffic and road speed info already. _________________ Darren Griffin |
