UK-headquartered 3261 CATS-i (Covert Asset Tracking Systems for the internet) has announced the 3261 CATS-i which, the company claims, uses the smallest and lowest-profile components available to create an extremely small and thin GPS, GSM and RF tracking product. Designed to track almost any asset from pets and people through to cars, motorbikes and HGVs, the company claims the device will open up markets that have never been accessible to GPS tracking before.
The 3261 CATS-i is designed to provide the best possible chance of recovering a tracked asset, regardless of its current location. The inclusion of an RF beacon allows for accurate locating when hidden inside buildings and a new GSM location technology provided by a partner of 3261 CATS-i provides almost GPS-like accuracy in mapped areas. According to the company, the main selling points of the device are its dimensions, which, depending on the model, range from 45 x 35 x 12mm to
70 x 45 x 8mm (flexible).

    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

    Kapsch’s Arno Klamminger and Wolfgang Fleischer consider the need for an agnostic approach to technology for charging and tolling. Periodically, given the march of technology, it is worth pausing and taking stock of where we have got to and where we go next. Such reflections are necessary if we are to take full advantage of what we have at our disposal and, potentially, avoid decisions which push us down technological culs de sac. A look at the use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based technol
