Libelium Smart World
It's the way the world is going! So how might sensor applications, smart roads, etc. lend itself to fewer motor vehicles on the road, or more efficient use of transportation systems?

Bit of a tangent from from transportation question ..
We are quickly approaching the singularity with high probability that the machines will be in control.

With enough sensors covering every action, TPTB will be able to incarcerate an ever increasing percentage of the population, leading ultimately to fewer vehicles on the road.

What does "TPTB" stand for, btw?

Centurylink long distance and internet across America (and some Verizon that relies on their network, possibly Cable One) were down from 2am Pacific Thursday into Friday here for internet and full service wasn't restored nationwide until sometime today, couldn't even reach customer service or operators)...I couldn't even call my mom 40 miles away.
If you can't find a manual can opener and pork and beans you're in trouble. Credit card terminals were down, checks had to be accepted and the old standby imprinter machines for cards that are now frowned on for fraud risks had to be used again
It was 1974 all over again and awfully lonely.
You don't realize what a crock it is until this stuff breaks. One part went and coast to coast is crapola.

They really do, those are called other hubs and routers. This was a maintenance issue and might have been found earlier with regular testing.

Maybe not quite at the same level of intelligence, but I thought it was the coolest thing ever when the Denver area transit system started providing real-time tracking on the buses. It made it so much more convenient to take the bus because you could tell exactly when it would come and plan to get there right on time, rather than waiting around.

I met an engineering student who programmed her own bus tracking app after she saw the one her mother uses while visiting her during a vacation. I should have asked how she tracked the buses to map their location. Maybe they already had tracking but not a full comprehensive map that shows all the buses at the same time.

Any city that wants to put this on their buses now have proven case studies, tutorials, off the shelf hardware, etc. For example https://www.researchgate.net/publica...Display_System. Want to put wifi on your bus? Just buy a product like this one... https://mobileonboard.com/beam-bus-wifi-systems/

I wonder if they could develop some kind of universal sensor system that would let cyclists and pedestrians, especially children, carry a chip that causes a warning light to go on at intersections and crosswalks. That way motorists would be attenuated when there was an unseen child/pedestrian/cyclist nearby and exercise more caution. The downside of this might be that more people would get run over when the light or sensors malfunctioned for some reason and motorists just assumed there was no one around without looking.

I was just thinking of a response to this thread asking for more potential applications for sensor technology.

It's hard to get a fix on this Libelium company. Where is it headquartered? Who runs it? What does it do? is is smoke and mirrors or a serious player?

You can discover answers to all these questions and more by ordering their introductory sensory array package! Just send check or money order to P.O. Box . . .

Not really - that website is designed to tell you very little. I did figure out they are based in Spain and have two youngish founders. However there is almost no descriptive text about the company anywhere.
