Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / public transport radio support systems | | French term or phrase: étiquettes avec lecteurs embarqués | Le pupitre du conducteur sert à :
- l'aide à la conduite (avance-retard)
- la messagerie
- l'accès aux fonctions de phonie
Le calculateur embarqué sert à localiser les véhicules en lieu et en temps réels.
- Le GPS, l'odomètre et le gyroscope sont utilisés pour assurer la localisation des bus.
- L'utilisation d'étiquettes avec lecteurs embarqués et de l'odomètre permettent d'assurer la localisation des tramways.
Could these 'etiquettes' be anything to do with 'radio-frequency identification tags' (as per GDT)... I'm fine with everything up to that point, which all makes perfect sense, but am not sure exactly what these 'etiquettes' are... would be grateful for suggestions. Thanks. |

| | labels ? | Explanation:
I strongly suspect these might simply be labels! Either barcodes fitted to the roofs (etc.) of the trams, being read by ground-based readers; or maybe the reverse?
Sometimes this sort of system has been mooted for toll-collection on motorways etc., and for embarkation of cars on ferries.
The point being that a tram doesn't need GPS, since it only has a limited range of possibilites for getting lost! I would imagine it might just read the name off each stop as it passes, for example (as the Paris buses appear to do...)
