Intelligent BRT in Tehran

An intelligent BRT system is necessary when communities looking for new ways to use high capacity rapid transit at a reduced cost. This paper will describe the intelligent control system that works with Datacenter. With the help of GPS system, the data center can monitor the situation of each bus and bus station. Through RFID technology, bus station and traffic light can transfer data with bus and by Wimax communication technology all of parts can talk together; data center learns all information about the location of bus, the arrival of bus in each station and the number of passengers in station and bus. Finally, the paper presents the case study of those theories in Tehran BRT.
