Torching Speed Cameras Becoming UK’s National Pastime

Chris Bangle’s "Flame Surfacing" design theme seems to be spreading to other automotive-related areas. For the fourth time in two months, TheNewspaper reported that vandals (or heroes, depending on your world view) have set another speed camera on fire. Does anyone see a pattern emerging? Apparently, the destruction of speed cameras is catching on in other parts of the world.

London Testing “Average Speed” Cameras

It was just a matter of time, wasn’t it? A five-mile stretch of London’s A13 is being used to test the accuracy and feasibility of 34 Wi-Fi-enabled speed cameras that can track and calculate the average speed of a vehicle between two camera points, unlike traditional speed cameras which just capture speed at a single point. Those caught speeding during the trial period will not be fined until the city decides on full and official implementation. Although driving above the limit in congested areas is irresponsible, let’s hope this idea doesn’t catch on.

Camera Maker Admits Ticketing Is Addictive, To Open Rehab Centers

Like crack cocaine in the ’80s and heroin in the ’90s, a new addiction is sweeping the streets - red light cameras. Although studies have shown  that red light cameras actually increase accidents, municipalities can’t seem to stop hitting the pipe. Speaking to a group of investment bankers, Lynn Blodgett, CEO of Affiliated Computer Services, a maker of red light and speed cameras, said the cameras "generate a lot of revenue and so they’re not going to cut back on those types of areas."

Future Cars To Predict Accidents By Using GPS and Wi-Fi

Jose Ignacio Herroro Zarzosa, an industrial engineer at GMV in Spain, is currently working on a system that ties in GPS, in-car data, car-to-car and car-to-Internet WiFi to help predict crashes. The Collision Warning System takes current data and predicts where the cars will be in a few seconds later. If it forsees an accident, a warning light will alert the driver. So far the the system can forsee an accident two to five seconds before it happens.

Red Light Cameras Increase Accidents. Solution In Stockton, CA? Add More Cameras.

Five studies have proven that red light cameras increase accidents. Stockton, CA’s own data comes to the same conclusion, yet they want to add more. Even the local newspaper supports more red light cameras despite acknowledging the increase in accidents. Fuzzy logic.

NJ E-ZPass Becomes E-ZTrack

Want privacy? Give up. New Jersey’s DOT is tracking motorists even when they’re not on toll roads. Sensors have been set up on free public roads as a way to monitor traffic volume. According to theNewspaper.com, "it is not clear whether the state has access to the identity of the motorists involved, because New Jersey E-ZPass terms and conditions fail to disclose even the public tracking program."

I-95 Drivers - Read & Rejoice! Maybe…

Glenn Swanson @ The Truth About Cars reports something useful and potentially good for frequenters of America’s worst interstate, also known as I-95.

Real-time traffic monitoring? Of course it sounds good, but I recall studying traffic congestion at NYU, and some theory about how traffic flow is like water flow, and how congestion is similar to water freezing

My logic tells me that however useful 100% accuracy in traffic monitoring may be to those with traffic data enabled GPS units, that such data becomes less useful in a direct and inverse correlation to the market penetration of such units.

Right?
