Skymeter: the future of road tolls in Toronto? - 0 views

  •  
    Have you read or heard about Andrew Coyne's paper, "Stuck in Traffic?" It talks about how Torontonians are spending more time commuting to work. Eye Weekly points out that we've got the technology to solve that problem right here at MaRS. It's our tenant and client, Skymeter. Skymeter, a company founded by local businessman Bern Grush, has designed a device that sits inside vehicles and tracks the location and distance of travel using GPS technology, adjusting for price changes in real time. To address privacy concerns, the Skymeter sends only the price information to authorities-data about where and when you've travelled stays inside your car, and you can erase it as often as you like. The technology has already been tested for road pricing in Asia and proved effective. So why aren't we using it in Toronto, Eye Weekly asks?
