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.

    The German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.

When severe weather conditions make headlines every winter, motorists and travellers seem willing to accept the impact on the trains and roads and yet take for granted that the communications networks will continue uninterrupted. They often appear far more upset that the information system does not give them an update on road conditions, train services or bus arrival times than they are about the a

Andy Teich, Flir’s president of commercial systems, doesn’t want to talk about infrared (IR). Instead, he’d prefer, he says, to discuss ‘thermal technology’. It is, he explains, to differentiate between the imaging technologies which his company specialises in and the LED illumination of IR cameras, an altogether different beast. Fl
