EYE TRAX ANNOUNCES NEW MOBILE INTERFACE
Eye Trax, the leading manufacturer of wireless outdoor security cameras, announces its exclusive User Interactive Mobile Application (UIMA), a mobile app for smartphones and tablets that works with Eye Trax security cameras. UIMA allows users to access all of the cameras in their network, where they can view “live” images from an individual camera, create time-lapse videos, share photos and videos, and adjust camera settings. Eye Trax UIMA gives business owners and site managers the power to monitor jobsites anywhere, at any time. Because the cameras are mobile, users can place them at multiple jobsites and easily pick them up once finished with a job. Collected data is stored on Eye Trax’s secure cloud-based server, which Eye Trax users can access. Enabling push notifications will allow pictures to be sent, via SMS or email, for users to review live images to determine if action is required.

NAVIGANT RESEARCH ANALYZES LDV MARKET THROUGH 2035
A report from Navigant Research—Transportation Forecast: Light Duty Vehicles—analyzed the market for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) in eight segments, including global forecasts for sales and the number of vehicles in use, segmented by region, drivetrain, and primary fuel, through 2035. The segments include stop-start vehicles (SSVs); hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs); plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs); battery electric vehicles (BEVs); natural gas vehicles (NGVs); fuel cell vehicles (FCVs); propane autogas vehicles (PAGVs); and conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
The enormous dependency on crude oil derivatives in the LDV market has pushed governments worldwide to implement policies and programs that encourage the adoption of various fuel efficiency and alternative fuel technologies. Other changes in the market include more varied transportation options, including vehicles with various levels of drivetrain electrification and vehicles that run on alternative fuels entirely.
