“How’s My Driving?”

At some point or another, we’ve all been a victim of one of those commercial service vehicles with the bumper sticker that reads, “How’s My Driving?”

Normally we don’t pay too much attention to the driving behaviors of these commercial vehicles until we get stuck behind one of them, usually in a one-lane stretch of road. We want to punch the gas pedal and pass them up, but we often don’t because of the insistent fear that we’ll end up in a head-on collision with an oncoming car on the opposite side of traffic… or because our cars don’t have the horsepower to do so.

Regina Cab Drivers Need GPS Technology

According to a statistical report, taxi cab drivers were rated as one of the most dangerous jobs in Canada. It shouldn’t come as a surprise since the nature of the job requires taxi drivers to pick up and drop off complete strangers all throughout the day for 8-12 hours straight. In August of 2009, Jose Pena-Seguira, a New York City cab driver, was fatally shot in the head.

However, this hasn’t stopped Ayyaz Destdar from doing his job. For 20 years Ayyaz has worked in large cities such as New York, Toronto and Edmonton. He recently moved to Regina, which is the capital city of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, a few months ago and was surprised when he discovered how far behind the city was in the development and implementation of safety measures for taxi drivers.

Charges Dropped for Turtle Lake Driver

A 60-year-old driver for a handicapped transportation service in Turtle Lake, WI, was accused of sexually assaulting a child in his care. However, this past week he had the criminal charges against him dropped after the 11-year-old girl admitted she made up a story that he molested her sexually.

According to a phone interview from District Attorney Dan Steffen, Paul L. Burritt was not just “not guilty” of the accusations made against him, he was clearly “innocent” of all charges. He went on to state that this was “a prosecutor’s worst nightmare.” All charges against Burritt were dismissed on a prosecutor’s motion and Steffen is working to have them expunged from the criminal computer records.

Open Source Development for Real-Time GPS Tracking System

New York City’s public transit provider, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, is set to pour millions of dollars into a high-tech project that will give New Yorkers a real-time view into the exact location of every single bus in the city.

Last year, the transit authority announced “BusTime,” a pilot project on the B63 bus route running through Brooklyn. GPS tracking devices were installed on each bus, and an open-source firmware was initially developed by local tech firms to allow the public to view buses as they made their way along their routes.

An Age Old Rivalry

Ohio State vs. Michigan, Texas vs. Oklahoma, the Green Bay Packers vs. the Chicago Bears and the list goes on and on. There’s just something magical about being a part of an age old rivalry. It brings an extra element of passion and enthusiasm for one’s team, that at times, borders on the edge of insanity. A fair-weather fan will instantly transform into a completely ravenous cheerleader when their beloved home team plays against their old arch rivals. Stadiums and arenas that are normally half-empty will fill up to capacity when their rivals come into town.

And one of the oldest rivalries just happens to be between New York City and the City of Chicago. These two cities have been locked in battle for decades with each one trying to outdo the other – from skyscrapers to pizza, and most recently the pride associated with the city’s ability to plow snow.

Forget the Beef, Where’s the Plow!

The winter season in Chicago can be brutal. Last year, a massive blizzard dumped more than 21 inches of snow, effectively shutting down the entire city. And although the epic blizzard of 2011 may not be the norm, the snow definitely is, which means the city streets will soon be covered in layers of powdery white snow.hat should provide Chicagoans with a little peace of mind

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration announced a new plan today to help its citizens monitor the city’s snow plowing efforts. Using GPS tracking technology, the city has developed a new website, ChicagoShovels.org, which will provide a map of Chicago’s approximately 300 snowplows, as they make their way through the various neighborhoods. This new website will give anyone with access to the internet, a clear view of work as it progresses along, allowing its citizens to track the snowplows through real-time GPS technology. “If that’s happening, you’ll see it,” Mr. Emanuel’s chief technology officer, John Tolva, said.
