Portable, Solar-Powered Tag Readers Could Improve Traffic Management
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)As part of their ongoing effort to improve traffic management in New York state and across the country, a team of transportation researchers will be testing an array of wireless, solar-powered readers to monitor traffic flow. The portable units, which are based on the same technology as E-ZPass tag readers, could eventually be used to provide valuable data for a variety of applications.
