Request for input
As part of an engineering project, I am looking at the design of an automated traffic information system that expands traffic information into non-urban areas by using system equipped vehicles as sensors. The basic premise is that the system:
- measures traffic volume via stationary sensors (already being done) - measures traffic volume via system equipped vehicles (somewhat new) - provides route meanagement via in-vehicle systems (already being done, like FM traffic to your nav) - provides route management via signal controls (expand on what is being done today) My questions are: - Are the four points of the premisse true? Should there be more? - What else is important to a user of such a system? (user privacy issues come to mind, especially if your vehicle is feeding location/speed information back into the system) - Is there a need to have mobile web (internet) access to the vehicle? - Should such a system be expanded to include vehicle diagnostics by tying into the vehicle's on-board computer via the OBD-II connection (or other means?) Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Re: Request for input
The project is for a grad school class. I've posted a request for feedback on a couple of GPS related sites, but I wanted to get input from an informed user community like this site. Any comments, opinions, inputs would be appreciated. Thanks.
