Enhanced transit location systems and methods

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a hardware processor of a computing component, the machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause the hardware processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, at a first one of a plurality of first electronic devices anchored along a transportation pathway, a first wireless signal transmitted by a second electronic device attached to a vehicle traveling along the transportation pathway;
• responsive to receiving the first wireless signal, transmitting, from the first one of the first electronic devices, a second wireless signal, wherein the second electronic device determines a location of the vehicle along the transportation pathway according to the second wireless signal;
• receiving, at the first one of the first electronic devices, a third wireless signal transmitted by a second electronic device, wherein the third wireless signal identifies the determined location of the vehicle;
• and
• transmitting, from the first one of the first electronic devices, a fourth wireless signal, wherein the fourth wireless signal identifies the determined location of the vehicle, wherein other ones of the first electronic devices wirelessly relay fifth wireless signals along the transportation pathway, wherein the fifth wireless signals identify the determined location of the vehicle.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
