A prototype remote access and mobile data transaction system for police cruisers

摘要

Project54 is an effort to integrate embedded and wireless mobile technologies into the police cruisers of the New Hampshire State Police. While performing their job, police officers often find themselves outside of their cruisers. A prototype system, called the remote access and mobile data transaction system, which provides remote accessibility to some of the functionality and the data available within the in-car Project54 system, was designed and implemented using a palm-sized computer, a two-dimensional barcode scan engine, and wireless communication modules. The system was integrated into the Project54 system using the intelligent transportation system data bus (IDB) and the IDB controllers developed by Project54. The system was successfully tested in laboratory conditions.
