Caltrans report says Skymeter "substantially better" than straight-GPS
Posted on Tue, 2009-09-01 01:57
A Caltrans draft report says tests of Skymeter show it performs "substantially better" than regular GPS (satellite location finding) units in providing accurate locations in a difficult urban environment. Skymeter is being offered by the small Toronto start-up company of the same name as a possible wide area tolling device that could assess tolls in a variety of city streets with minimal roadside infrastructure.
