OVERVIEW
REECE
The Roadside Embedded Extensible Computing Equipment (REECE) project was originally conceived by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation in order to bring wireless capabilities to their state-wide network of permanent count sites in an attempt to cut deployment and operation costs. Beginning in January 2006, the project deployed its first prototype in the late Spring of that year. By the end of the year, the system was considered a success with future deployment to additional sites in the pipeline more.
