Speed Trap And Red Light Camera Locations Have Nowhere To Hide
Portland OR (SPX) Jul 24, 2008 Njection.com has added several new features allowing visitors to view where Red Light Cameras, Speed Detection Cameras and Speed Traps are located anywhere in the world. Njection.com uses Microsoft Virtual Earth Map Controls to display the location of Speed Traps and Red Light Cameras worldwide. Users with an Internet connection can view, contribute and rate where these speed traps are located. In addition, a heat map can be displayed showing what time of day those areas are monitored and will display them visually on the map when those areas are monitored. The map displays a color-coded system for better readability. You can download them to your mobile GPS system to alert you to approaching monitored areas. In addition, for a limited time, everyone who registers on the site is eligible for a free 1-year subscription (12 issues) to Motor Trend compliments of Njection.com. Quantities are limited. In Caney, OK, as reported by KJRH, an investigation uncovered in a 2004/2005 state audit the town's operating budget was $310,000, almost $200,000 of that coming from speeding tickets. Tickets in Aventura, FL can be as much as $500 attached to the vehicle that was involved committing the offence, not the driver of the vehicle. There are no points assessed nor is it reported to the insurance company. "In the name of safety Red Light Cameras are being installed everywhere," says Shannon Atkinson, President of Njection.com. "But no one knows who these drivers are to get them off the road. In addition, most of the revenue generated from these programs ends up in the general fund of the city, not the roadway safety programs." In most instances, the same company that does the initial investigation on the placement of Red Light Cameras is the same one who installs and monitors them. "I think the main goal is to let people know where the problem areas are to prevent from being a victim of an accident whether it's from side impact, rear-ending, or someone else's careless driving. It's better to be proactive than reactive when driving," Shannon added. Related Links Njection.com GPS Applications, Technology and Suppliers
San Diego State University Improves MEMS Accelerometer Tunability
San Diego CA (SPX) Jul 16, 2008Researchers at San Diego State University have developed a new concept for improving MEMS accelerometer tunability. This method can increase wide-band tunability with ranges much larger than current practice, a significant improvement from the previously accepted 5-10%. |
