The Borum LineMaster computer, including a GPS module

25 Borum, an established global supplier of professional machinery for line marking, will have a wide array of its line marking machines and related equipment at Intertraffic Amsterdam. It will also be launching new features for the Borum LineMaster computer, including a GPS module that has been designed to provide a visual overview of line marking jobs through Google Earth.

The computer is the brain of Borum road marking
systems. It provides total control of all road marking tasks, from pre-marking, line programming,  and line application to reporting and invoicing.

Now, with the optional GPS module, Borum says it is possible to also track and record the line marking positions for each individual line marking job. A machine’s activity is automatically converted into a separate GPS log file, which customers can now view using Google Earth. This means they can visualize visualise relevant information and technical details of road marking jobs, their timeline and evolution at different points in time and much more.

    The increasing availability and accuracy of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is opening up low-cost options in many areas as David Crawford finds out. Boosting commercialisation of European global navigation satellite system (EGNSS) technologies for ITS initially depends heavily on demonstrating competitive and cost/benefit advantages obtainable from the deployment of EGNOS (the current European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and ultimately the EU’s Galileo constellation (see box).

    Richard Turnock, chief technology officer of Kapsch TrafficCom North America explains what advantages its newly-opened TDM protocol can offer as a US-wide standard for tolling interoperability. The electronic tolling industry across the United States is evolving. Historically it was characterised by clusters of interoperability where a motorist may be able to use the same transponder across a large area, such as the 15-State E-ZPass system, or be confined to a single State system. Now, however, the industry
