any proposals from folks familiar with the tasks at hand?
I was talking to a guy from LinuxCare (used to be a big company in the
days of the bubble) at OLS. They're doing the same thing with school
buses, so the school/parents know where the kids/buses are in real
time. Each kid has a card (rfid?) that they wave at a reader as they
get on/off.
The bus sends back data every minute or so (cell phone?) telling the
school where it is and giving an inventory of kids.
They also have a cam on board taking shots 15/sec showing
that a kid really did get on and off and which will transmit
in real time (driver presses a button) if there's some sort
of altercation on board (kids get rowdy, hijacking).
