Missouri Test to Monitor Cell Phones for Traffic Data
In what would be the largest project of its kind, the Missouri Department of Transportation is finalizing a contract to monitor thousands of cell phones, using their movements to map real-time traffic conditions statewide on all 5,500 miles of major roads. The contract is expected to be completed within several weeks, and a cell phone monitoring system tested and implemented within six months after that.
