The purpose of the Automatic Bus Identification Project was fourfold: to evaluate the performance of Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) Systems on buses in normal field operations; to consider the potential benefits of AVI for monitoring bus movements, including non-stop toll collection; to develop methods of coding and numbering that could be used as a standard for AVI systems; and to prepare specifications for an AVI system based on test results. Four manufacturers, all using low power radio frequency technology, participated in the project. The objectives of the project were met by conducting a two-phase test program. The first phase supplied road-side interrogators to monitor bus passage in a closed loop system. Data were transmitted over leased telephone lines to a computer located at a point about midway between the interrogation sites. The second phase was designed to provide a rigorous analysis of the performance of each AVI system.
