Message	There is an interestng write up over on /. ([ www.slashdot.org ]) concearning the development of smart roads in Denver, CO. Evidently, they are employing the use of electronics into the roadway that is able to count the volume of cars, traffic density, average speed, etc.. It then creates a real time traffic report that is available in several formats. One of which is friendly to mobile internet, and another in java. Pretty interesting concept. I wonder how many decades it will be before we see a wide implementation of these technologies. The ongoing construction project [ http://www.trexproject.com/ ] can be seen. You can also click on the link to see the Flash version [ http://www.trexproject.com/trex_channels/maps/realtime.asp ] as well as the current traffic in Denver. 1994 300ZX (Stage 5) 1992 240SX SE (Stock) << Purchase a 300ZX Calendar ------------------------------------------------------------ Robert Maddrey -- ECZA Florida Chapter VP AIM: NA300ZXusa Email: Rob@ecza.org Web: WWW.ECZA-FL.COM ------------------------------------------------------------
