Abstract
A method for providing information regarding a vehicle that follows a route and stops at a stop along the route. The method includes the following steps: (1) Generating a signal including identification information for the vehicle, (2) Transmitting the signal from a transmitter sub-system on this vehicle, (3) Receiving the signal at a receiver sub-system near the stop on the route; and (4) Processing the signal at the receiver sub-system to identify the vehicle and to estimate a time period to arrive at the stop.
Claims23
An advance notification system for providing information regarding a vehicle that follows a route and stops at a vehicle stop along the route, the system comprising:
