Tiny GPS timing receiver

Trimble has introduced the Resolution-SMT GPS receiver, a new embedded GPS receiver for timing applications to enable system integrators to add precise GPS to provide location, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and synchronisation to many products or systems where cost or size had previously been a limitation. The device is a complete, ready-to-go timing receiver in a 19x19x2.5mm shielded module. A Starter Kit from Trimble provides everything a designer needs to begin adding state-of-the-art GPS timing capab

1985 Trimble has introduced the Resolution-SMT GPS receiver, a new embedded GPS receiver for timing applications to enable system integrators to add precise GPS to provide location, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and synchronisation to many products or systems where cost or size had previously been a limitation. The device is a complete, ready-to-go timing receiver in a 19x19x2.5mm shielded module. A Starter Kit from Trimble provides everything a designer needs to begin adding state-of-the-art GPS timing capability into their application.

    David Crawford looks at new technologies to cope with the age-old problem of driving in bad weather. On the 10-year average, between 2005 and 2014 bad weather contributed to more than 1.5 million vehicle crashes in the US each year, resulting in more than 800,000 injuries and 7,400 deaths. These were the findings of analysis by Booz Allen Hamilton of NHTSA data which concluded that the loss of life, hospital treatment and damage to assets costs an annual average of $42bn.

    A new project is under way in Minnesota, investigating whether smartphones are technically and publicly acceptable for use in road user charging. Jason Barnes reports. In Minnesota, trials have been launched to determine whether smartphones are technologically viable and acceptable to the public for distance based road user charging (RUC). The Midwestern US state has engaged with Battelle to explore RUC technology options in a project which falls under the auspices of the US Federal Connected Vehicle progra

    A UK university student researcher has made a breakthrough by designing and constructing a new system which ‘harvests’ the energy generated by a vehicle’s shock absorbers and feeds it back into batteries or electrical systems such as air conditioning. Ruichen Wang from the University of Huddersfield carried out the project to obtain his doctorate at the University and has published his findings. The article, Modelling, Testing and Analysis of a Regenerative Hydraulic Shock System, provides a summary of
  • Road space utilisation improves travel times, reduces costs
    February 1, 2012
    For major road works schemes, necessary lane closures are timed to minimise congestion, most frequently at night and on weekends when traffic is at its lightest. As a result, rigid timetables are used in planning, programming and implementing work. In the UK, to calculate the expected traffic demand through roads works, historic profiles from the loop-based MIDAS (Motorway Incident Detection Automatic Signalling) system were used. These provided a valuable indicator of anticipated traffic behaviour but were
