2251 Networkfleet has announced the availability of simple one-plug installation for its Networkfleet 4200 low-cost GPS vehicle tracking system. Most GPS tracking systems require wire splicing for installation in light-duty vehicles but the 4200 plugs directly into the OBD-II diagnostic port, making installation quick and easy. The device is designed for fleets that need reliable location tracking but do not require the full engine diagnostics offered by the Networkfleet 3500 wireless fleet management system. The Networkfleet 4200 device can be installed in light, medium and heavy vehicles, and is compatible with both 12V and 24V vehicles.

Using a light-duty harness cable and an adapter for specific vehicle types, both supplied by Networkfleet, the 4200 device can receive power directly from the OBD-II port. The vehicle adapter connects directly to the light-duty harness cable for easy plug-and-play installation.

    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.

    Peter Cattell of Clearview Traffic analyses different wireless communications methods and explains how these are changing the face of vehicle detection. With the continued expansion of traffic data collection solutions, providing a robust, reliable, scalable and secure method of collecting information becomes increasingly important. Over many years, various mobile wireless technologies have been utilised to make the remote collection of data a reality but recent developments are changing the way that this w

    Someone once likened predicting the future to ‘nailing a jelly to the wall’. With ITS, C-ITS and V2X technology progressing at such a pace, predicting the future is more akin to trying to nail three jellies to the wall – but only having one nail. And yet with roadways having a lifetime measured in decades, that is exactly what highway engineers and traffic planners are expected to do. Fortunately, New Hampshire DoT (NHDoT) believes its technological advances may be able to provide a solution. The Central Ne

    An indication of just how far beyond spot speed and red light the enforcement sector has progressed was evident in the range of new and improved equipment on display at the recent Traffex event in Birmingham. One of the key trends, particularly in the UK but also evident elsewhere, is the increase in average speed enforcement, according to RedSpeed’s managing director Robert Ryan, who predicts a big increase in installations this year. “The price point has reached a level authorities can afford,” he says, a
