RFID Roundup - Fri Dec 29, 2006
RFID In Our Car Tires
RFID has been in used in the automotive industry for quite some time, both in vehicles and for SCM (supply chain management). Tag have also been used in tires by NASCAR. Now they're being used in tire pressure gauges, which seems to worry Bruce Schneier (a writer for Wired) but not Techdirt or Engadget.
Why Not Use RFID?
Boing Boing points to a story about a new mounted scanning camera being used in San Francisco to help the Dept of Parking and Traffic catch cars with unpaid parking tickets. Given that the system costs 92,000 for each outfitted vehicle, it seems like an opportunity to consider an RFID-based parking solution for the future, like Hoboken, New Jersey.
New Villanova RFID Lab
Villanova University will be getting a state-of-the-art RFID lab courtesy of a partnership with Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania (BFTP/ SEP). They'll also be getting a three other high-tech labs in the new 12-year partnership.
