850 Apollo Video Technology has released the RoadRunner Mobile App for the iPhone and iPod Touch to allow transit officials to view live video feeds from buses, trains, police cars and transit facilities.

"The RoadRunner Mobile Application is the first iPhone app aimed specifically at transit officials and first responders," said Rodell Notbohm, general manager of Apollo Video Technology.

"RoadRunner Mobile allows transit managers and first responders to quickly view live video feeds of any transit vehicle within their network and respond immediately."

The company says RoadRunner Mobile will also provide maintenance personnel with much needed access to live video feeds of cameras on mass transit, school buses or police vehicles. Live video feeds will enable maintenance personnel to quickly re-adjust camera angles and ensure that all cameras are recording properly.

    When it comes to driverless cars, there are many variables – but one thing is for certain: autonomous driving will have a significant impact on vehicle design, says Andreas Herrmann The transition to autonomous vehicles (AVs) means that many of the factors which have shaped automotive design for the past 130 years no longer apply. At present, the design of a car is largely determined by the anticipated direction of travel: the car’s silhouette immediately shows where the front and back are. Driverless ve

    There is some controversy over the testing of connected and autonomous vehicles – but Robert Deans of Transurban North America explains how managed lanes could be vital in the development of CAVs, benefiting everyone. Managed lane operators have the opportunity to establish themselves as leaders in the testing and roll-out of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), assisting and accelerating the transition of CAVs onto road networks to deliver economic and safety benefits.

    IBM researchers are piloting a system with the City of Lyon, France which will be used to help traffic operators in its transportation management centre to evaluate an incident and make more informed assessments about which actions would restore traffic flow. Using real-time traffic data, the new analytics and optimisation technology can help officials predict outcomes and analyse ways to resolve problems. The researchers say that, although traffic management centres have sophisticated video walls and colou

    IRD, Inc's Terry Bergan discusses future applications of weigh in motion technology. The application in recent years of Weigh In Motion (WIM) at tollgates has been driven by recognition of the fact that there is economic value, which can be levied, attached to Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) which haul laden (and are therefore heavy) rather than empty. As wear and damage to road surfaces increases exponentially with weight, the targeting of HGVs in particular makes sense from both the economic and maintenance p
