CALGARY, Canada-The Canadian government put up a $142,000 grant to study the feasibility of using technology created by location-services provider Cell-Loc to develop a traffic monitoring system.
The project will use Cell-Loc’s Cellocate wireless location technology to monitor cellular devices in vehicles to determine traffic flow. Stationary vehicle-detecting sensors currently monitor traffic flow.
“Using Cell-Loc’s Alberta Living Lab test environment in Calgary, this study is another step toward validating our technology, and it adds another application to the long list of services that wireless location can enable,” said John Krpan, the company’s chief operating officer.
