It doesn&#39;t have to, if there is a better open source/affordable solution out there, there is no sense in re-inventing the wheel. Consequently, if the sensors we need are already made and work fine and are affordable, then I see no need in making new ones from scratch, unless maybe there is good reason to.<br>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I like this one <a href="http://www.caliper.com/transmodeler/default.htm" target="_blank">http://www.caliper.com/transmodeler/default.htm</a>
. This looks at the presentation end of the whole project, i guess...<br>
<br>
Seems like the GIS guys have what we are thinking about - that is actually the
final vision of how this thing may be presented to gprs capable phones...<br>
Our work will be to find a way to collect real time data from these roads, find
a way to send them remotely and then present them like so...<br>
<br>
The simulation thing looks good,,, next step in the test would be to collect
data from the simulation and extract it to the remote system for distribution.</span></font></p>
