Montreal will start using linux-based parking meters Just saw an interesting article about the city of Montreal moving to solar-powered, wireless, linux-based multi-spot parking meters. Seems like it's a significant improvement on the old mechinized ones.Meter maids can cruise for violators using ruggedized Intermec handheld devices inside their vehicles. The devices have built-in city maps on which paid spots are green and unpaid spots are red.
Centralized control enables city officials to adjust rates on the fly, for example raising the rates during sporting events, concerts, or other times of high parking demand.
