Plone and Drupal: Different Approaches, Different Results
paul.nowak wrote: Matt, thanks for the comments. I made an error on the version of Plone. It's 2.5 Plone running on Zope 2.9x.

ACS Awarded Innovative Parking Enforcement Contract by City of Chicago
Street sweeper-mounted camera system is world's first

By: PR Newswire
Apr. 22, 2008 10:00 AM

DALLAS, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Street sweepers equipped with cameras will enable the City of Chicago to decrease the number of illegally parked vehicles under the world's first application of its kind. Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. will install and maintain 100 camera systems during the next three years as part of a $7 million contract.

The street sweeper-automated parking violation system of the city's Department of Streets and Sanitation is designed to reduce the number of illegally parked vehicles on streets scheduled for cleaning. ACS will also perform image verification to confirm the violation occurred and will provide training for city employees.

"ACS is uniquely equipped to provide the services Chicago needs to meet a public safety and traffic flow issue because of our vast experience providing parking services to major cities in the nation," said Michael Huerta, ACS executive vice president and group president, Transportation Solutions. "The City of Chicago has demonstrated extraordinary foresight in helping develop a solution that will be a model for the industry."

Chicago faces a problem with illegally parked cars causing disruption to street cleaning efforts and traffic flow. After a pilot program that proved the success of the concept, the city solicited bids for a solution for its 100 street sweeper units to use technology to combat the problem.

ACS' solution involves a rugged camera system to capture the image of the illegally parked car and a second, zoomed-in image of the license plate, using Mobile License Plate Recognition technology for enhanced readability. As the sweeper moves down the street, the automated system takes pictures of the violating vehicles, transmits images and data for image verification, and interfaces with the Chicago Department of Revenue to mail violation notices.

ACS is the industry leader in providing transportation services to governments worldwide. ACS' Transportation Solutions business helps government agencies in more than 30 countries address their challenges through revenue collection and regulation compliance services. Our industry-leading solutions include electronic toll collection, public transport fare collection, parking fare collection, public safety photo enforcement, commercial vehicle credentialing, traffic and parking violation processing and collection, and port management services.

ACS, a global FORTUNE 500 company with 62,000 people supporting client operations reaching more than 100 countries, provides business process outsourcing and information technology solutions to world-class commercial and government clients. The company's Class A common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ACS". Learn more about ACS at http://www.acs-inc.com/.
