Transponder encryption keys are user programmable, using a simple over-the-air protocol. Once correctly programmed, transponders may be "locked" through a separate command, which prevents further changes to the internal key value. [4] Each transponder is factory provisioned with a 24-bit serial number and 8-bit manufacturer code.
Dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) is a technology for direct wireless exchange of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) and other intelligent transportation systems (ITS) data between vehicles, other road users (pedestrians, cyclists, etc.), and roadside infrastructure (traffic signals, electronic message signs, etc.).

Map data vendors such as Tele Atlas and Navteq create the base map in a GDF (Geographic Data Files) format, but each electronics manufacturer compiles it in an optimized, usually proprietary manner. GDF is not a CD standard for car navigation systems. GDF is used and converted onto the CD-ROM in the internal format of the navigation system.
Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a technology for delivering traffic and travel information to motor vehicle drivers.It is digitally coded using the ALERT C or TPEG protocol into Radio Data System (RDS) [1] carried via conventional FM radio broadcasts.
In telecommunications, a transponder is a device that, upon receiving a signal, emits a different signal in response. [1] The term is a blend of transmitter and responder . [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
In most systems, vehicles using the system are equipped with an automated radio transponder device. When the vehicle passes a roadside toll reader device, a radio signal from the reader triggers the transponder, which transmits back an identifying number which registers the vehicle's use of the road, and an electronic payment system charges the ...
A GPS tracking unit, geotracking unit, satellite tracking unit, or simply tracker is a navigation device normally on a vehicle, asset, person or animal that uses satellite navigation to determine its movement and determine its WGS84 UTM geographic position (geotracking) to determine its location.

SPOT is a GPS tracking device that uses the Globalstar satellite network [1] to provide text messaging and GPS tracking (depending on the subscription type purchased). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It has a coverage area that includes a large portion of the planet, with the exception of extreme northern and southern latitudes and parts of the Pacific Ocean. [ 4 ]
