This invention integrates a novel technique for mappers to efficiently
collect attributes utilizing various wireless systems such as bluetooth.
The wireless technique in the data-gathering device allows the
flag-man/data gatherer to input useful information into the device, which
can readily be available to the mapper at the other end. This invention
makes the traditional mapping technique much more efficient and reliable.
Due to the ability to exchange data promptly, it nearly diminishes the
room for discrepancies. This device overcomes mainly two deficiencies in
current mapping device: the need to use a wire to connect data recording
device to a data-collecting device, and the need to use some form of oral
communication (for ex. use of a radio transmission at an accident
investigation site between police officers) to relay the attributes of
the data being collected. This proves to be very efficient by cutting
down the investigation data collection time to nearly half, especially at
the times when there is heavy traffic and the accident needs to be
cleared up as quickly as possible.
