	Financing of Education in Denmark
		Whereas most primary and secondary schools are financed and run by municipalities and counties, central government holds the responsibility for and financing of - among others - vocational, higher education and supplementary adult training.
		Since the early 1990's, the central government's system of financing education in Denmark has changed considerably and is now almost exclusively based on the so-called taximeter system, which is a comprehensive financing system based on per capita grants (cash-per-student) to institutions.
		Most types of educational institutions are now financed under the taximeter system, no matter whether they are state-owned or self-governing.

	Taximeter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A taximeter is a mechanical or electronic device installed in taxicabs, similar to an odometer, which calculates passenger fares based on a combination of distance travelled and waiting time.
		Taximeters existed in ancient Rome, where they employed a mechanism that used the turning of the cart's axle to release small balls.
		The modern taximeter was invented by German Wilhelm Bruhn in 1891, and the Daimler Victoria—the world's first meter-equipped (and gasoline-powered) taxicab—was built by Gottlieb Daimler in 1897.

		Whilst this document refers to the convenient term "taximeter", it should be borne in mind that taximeter as defined in the MID is the device located within the cab that works together with the signal generator to make a measuring instrument; the distance signal generator is outside the scope of the Directive.
		Taximeters fitted voluntarily in taxis licensed for public hire outside Belfast or for private hire are not tested and sealed by the Department.
		It regulates taximeters to the extent of ensuring that they are properly calibrated in accordance with the local tariff, but the choice of taximeter type is down to the taxi proprietor.

	System for preventing fraud in the use of a taximeter - Patent 5121097
		A system for preventing fraud when using a taximeter that utilizes a stage for detecting a load condition in a taxi and for recording signals corresponding to the load and driving condition of the taxi and to whether the taximeter is switched on or off.
		The load detection stage is adapted to detect the load on at least the rear wheels (2b) of the taxi (1), and to detect a change from a zero point indicating the unloaded condition.
		Fraud is, in the first place, only possible when the taximeter is in the free condition, since, in the occupied condition, the fare is indicated and is entered into a daily totalizing counter or memory.

	Taxicab Authority - Fares and Fees..
		If the taximeter senses that the taxicab is moving less than 8-12 MPH, the taximeter will assess a charge of $.25 (twenty-five cents) every 41 seconds ($22.00 per hour waiting time).
		That is why the taximeter continues to accumulate charges even when the taxicab is not moving.
		Once the taximeter senses that the taxicab is moving at a speed greater than 8-12 MPH the fare calculates on the actual distance traveled.

		So when the taximeter is first put into "Hired" mode, you pay £2.00, and it buys you 265 metres (and an amount of time which we'll talk about later).
		This means that the taximeter needs an accurate calendar-clock built in and needs to include the "20.00 to 06.00 hrs, Monday to Friday" information, so it can select the correct Tariff.
		The taximeter finds out the distance travelled by the taxi through a series of electrical pulses received from somewhere in the taxi's electrical system.

		The responses indicated that approval of a taximeter for the London market was indefinite so long as the meters remained in use.
		The four taximeter manufacturers expressed the view that they would, indeed, be producing taximeters that conform to the MID requirements in advance of the end of the derogation period.
		A couple of responses indicated that annual checking of the taximeter was the norm, but it was the nature and extent of that checking which varied enormously around the country.
