where is the tram but where

    A couple of years already, for friends, they made a service on their knees to determine the location of the car and display it on the map.

    A simple microprocessor (microchip), a gps embedded module,
    gprs for transmitting information and a server on the Internet that
    receives location information and displays
    moving points on a Google map. a friend was responsible for working with a soldering iron, I did programming. I had to write in C for the microprocessor (a simple OS), in PERL for the server and a bit of HTML + JS and AJAX. with modern simplified technologies, it's all very simple. I’m telling you like a lazy person.

    What each friend did with the palyanik I will not say for sure, but it turns out beautiful
    shawls that contain a lot of small details and work great.
    Already a couple of years, On the street. In any weather.

    Think about it.
    This was done by two people in their free time. The service is now spinning
    dozens of cars, the information is updated once a minute. Everything works
    fully automatic.

    At prices up to NG, it cost a lot less than 10k rubles to equip one car. Traffic
    eats a penny.

    Redo this system so that it displays trams online. Or sent
    on request sms with the coordinates of the trams. Or updated (via the same GPRS)
    information on the scoreboard, which we can create and hang out at stops.
    well, maybe three or four months. And that’s all.

    Do you want trams, do you want trains? commuter trains? Yes, do not care.

    So here. I don’t even stick my head out to offer this to my hometown
    (812). Because I understand - it is useless. Kickbacks - they rule. Communications - they rule.
    Familiar programmers - dancers - rule.

    Every time I see idle traffic lights again, I can’t
    understand what could break there? how can you invest SUCH money to get
    something that is buggy?

    Friends, I don’t even understand myself what exactly I wanted to say :) maybe
    you will understand.

    ps
    I will not give links :) I do not need PR.
