1916 Nexcom’s ruggedised vehicle mount computer VMC 3000 series is designed for use in heavy-duty vehicles and, says the company, can increase productivity and safety within harsh environments. Featuring scalable computing power, 10.4” touch screen and a range of wireless communication technologies and combining a robust design and IP65-compliant enclosure, the VMC 3000 series can gather, display, transmit and receive information to help optimise route planning, increase situational awareness, and monitor vehicle status, making it ideal for use within a variety of rugged vehicles with locations such as construction sites, mines, quarries or warehouses.

The VMC 3000 series offers two levels of computing performance, while the built-in GPS receiver allows for Bluetooth, wi-fi and 3G expansions. 

The device has ten configurable function keys for user-specified tasks and LED indicators for battery voltage and ambient temperature monitoring.  The VMC 3000 series clearly displays information outdoors, even in direct sunlight.

    January 25, 2012
    Is US tolling as fragmented and divided as some would have you believe? And are the technology suppliers so very entrenched? ITS International spoke to the market's leading suppliers. A few years back, the prevalent view was that the North American tolling market was characterised by fragmented, proprietary solutions, each existing in splendid isolation. The reality is that a combination of pragmatism and good old market forces have seen some concerted moves made towards interoperability in many areas.

    September 16, 2014
    Canadian researchers Olivier Quirion-Blais, Martin Trépanier and André Langevin have developed an algorithm to determine the most efficient routes for snow ploughs and gritters. Snow plough routing has always been something of a ‘black art’: to direct a fleet of show plough to clear priority roads without having the same road cleared several times while others are left untreated. Increasingly, GPS is being used to track the routes the clearing vehicles have taken but until now it has not been possible to ta
