1. Transit Technology Test Facility Uses GPS Vehicle Tracking
System.
TORRANCE, Calif. -- Radio Satellite Integrators, Inc. (RSI), a global provider of customized GPS-
based vehicle tracking and mobile data solutions, today announced the launch of a GPS vehicle
tracking system for the Transportation Technology Center Inc. (TTCI).
TTCI is the world's leading transit and railroad technology testing entity and facility. With 48 miles
of test track at their headquarters outside of Pueblo, Colorado, the TTCI uses federal and private
funds to test all things transit related including vehicles, track components, safety devices, and other
related equipment. The expansive test site created a need for precise location information for all of
the TTCI vehicles.
TTCI selected RSI to implement a unique vehicle tracking system utilizing a wide variety of wireless
technologies. Some tracking units are installed on locomotives, some are installed on safety
response vehicles, and some units are completely portable and can be used in gps tracking virtually
any vehicle. The units communicate through 2-way radio at the test site, and automatically switch
communication modes to a nationwide digital cellular packet data technology when available off-site.
The TTCI system also includes ruggedized Panasonic laptop computers that are http://gpsworld.com/
connected to a wireless local area network (LAN) and are able to track all the equipped vehicles
from anywhere on the facility.
"The TTCI project has given us the opportunity to showcase gps tracking devices the virtually
unlimited applications of vehicle tracking and wireless communications," states RSI president
Jonathan Michels, "Not only was this system very unique in configuration, but it also required an
exceedingly high level of accuracy and durability."
