2012 has started on a bad note for drivers, as gas prices rose 10 cents to $3.37 a gallon for regular gasoline, which is 14 cents more expensive than one month ago, and 27 cents more expensive than one year ago, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report.
Gasoline prices rose in most of the U.S. during the last week.
Police in Sherburne County, MN, began to suspect Sin Santo Bad was behind a string of residential burglaries when a witness reported seeing a vehicle with the license plate “BAD SIN” parked outside a house while it was being burglarized. The license plate “BAD SIN” was registered to Bad’s personal vehicle.
Sheriff deputies later received permission from one of the owners of the potato processing company where Bad worked to put a GPS tracking device on a company-owned pick-up truck. The GPS tracking device allowed officers to monitor the truck’s location and movements, but it did not transmit conversations from inside the truck or show the truck’s contents. [More…]
In September 2009, a company employee called the sheriff’s office to report that Bad was going to be using the company-owned truck for work that day. Deputies used the GPS tracking device to follow the truck, and what they found him doing was outrageous.
Cutting Edge Fleet Tracking Features from FieldLogix:
1. Garmin GPS Navigation Interface
Dispatchers can immediately send new calls to an in-vehicle navigation device to route drivers from current locations to their new jobs.
ederal agencies involved with testing and analyzing LightSquared’s proposed wireless network have unanimously found that LightSquared “would cause harmful interference to many GPS receivers,” and “that conclusion applies both to LightSquared’s original plan, and to modifications the company pledged after earlier tests showed interference.”
The news was broken in a letter signed by Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and Deputy Transportation Secretary John Porcarito, written to the U.S. Commerce Department from the National Executive Committee for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation & Timing.
The Space-Based Positioning Navigation & Timing executive committee has representatives from nine federal departments including the Commerce Dept. and the Air Force. The group reports its conclusions to the Federal Communications Commission, which has the final say on whether Lightsquared can proceed with its network, into which New York hedge fund operator Phil Falcone has poured more than $2 billion.

A tracking system in North Carolina, launched less than two weeks ago, has already blocked more than 1,600 questionable purchases of products of the main ingredient for methamphetamine, said Attorney General Roy Cooper, according to the North Carolina WRAL News. The tracking system monitors sales of pseudoephedrine and is already producing “impressive results”.
The tracking system was launched due to a new law, which took effect January 1, that requires pharmacies to use an electronic system to keep track of purchases of products containing pseudoephedrine. Found in many medications for the common cold, pseudoephedrine is the main ingredient in meth.
The tracking system lets pharmacies know if a buyer has reached the legal limit for purchases of products with pseudoephedrine, blocking the sale if that’s the case. North Carolina law limits purchases of such products to no more than two packages at once and no more than three within 30 days.
A new Garmin GPS app called Smartphone Link lets Android users stream real-time information to their GPS navigation device using their cel phone’s data plan.
Data is received by the phone and transmitted to the GPS device, for display on the navigator’s screen. The app can display real-time traffic information, traffic cam images, weather info and fuel prices quickly and easily on your Android cell phone. [More…]
The app is available free in the Android Market, and works with any Bluetooth-enabled 2012 Garmin Nuvi model. Free information includes access to product updates from Garmin, along with basic weather reporting. More useful data requires a subscription.
This month Duke University is launching a real-time tracking system for its fleet of buses. Now students, faculty, staff and visitors can locate a Duke bus in real-time at any of the 113 bus stops on and around campus.
“This is going to provide a great opportunity for people to see where buses are at any point in time in our system, literally down to the second as they move,” said Sam Veraldi, director of Parking and Transportation Services. “The system offers us a tremendous amount of efficiency by letting us and our passengers know where vehicles are and where they’ll soon be.”
The tracking system gives riders access to real-time bus location information from a computer or mobile device, and apps are available for the iPhone, Android and BlackBerry. Users can also use text messages to locate buses. The tracking system map will also have the capability to post messages, so if an accident slows or alters a bus route, riders will be alerted as the change happens.
New York City’s public transit provider, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), has decided to invest in a state-of-the-art bus tracking system that will give New Yorkers a real-time view into the exact location of every bus in the city. The tracking system will help bus riders stay on schedule, plan their travel, and never miss a bus again.
Bus riders in New York City should be very excited about the upcoming, real-time bus tracking system. [More…]
Bus riders will be able to access real-time information from a computer or mobile device and users can also use text messages to locate buses. This will especially come in handy during a snow storm or on a cold, rainy day.
Because traffic conditions, breakdowns, and day-to-day problems faced by transit providers can delay bus service, the tracking system was designed to keep bus riders on schedule even if their bus isn’t.
