2211 FreightWatch Security Net, a provider of embedded cargo and portable surveillance tracking solutions, has received FCC 47 CFR Part 15, Subpart B certification for its Geo F2 'Pill Bottle' location tracker, the first commercial-class 213 Qualcomm inGeo platform-based product.

The Geo F2 is an industrial strength, assisted-GPS tracking product incorporating Qualcomm QSC6055 module technology. With a small pig-tail battery option attached, it can be hidden in a pill bottle, or equally small enclosure, enabling a variety of new covert tracking solutions. With a large-capacity lithium-polymer battery option, the Geo F2 unit can also be deployed in rapid reporting, law enforcement surveillance situations or long-term (more than a year) remote asset location assurance applications.

Combined with the optional integrated Zigbee radio receiver, the Geo F2 becomes a remote, battery-powered sensor data collection and transmission platform.

    No-one should expect the enabling qualities of machine vision to come free of charge but Jason Barnes finds there is still much that ITS stakeholders can do to help reduce costs. After many years of application in high-end solutions for the enforcement and tolling sectors, machine vision is gaining traction in more general areas of traffic management. Nevertheless, those OEMs producing transport-oriented solutions which incorporate machine vision and looking to increase the technology’s share of the ITS mar

    IRD, Inc's Terry Bergan discusses future applications of weigh in motion technology. The application in recent years of Weigh In Motion (WIM) at tollgates has been driven by recognition of the fact that there is economic value, which can be levied, attached to Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) which haul laden (and are therefore heavy) rather than empty. As wear and damage to road surfaces increases exponentially with weight, the targeting of HGVs in particular makes sense from both the economic and maintenance p
