Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been heralded as one of the technologies that will fundamentally transform the industries. After years of hype, the adoption of RFID remains weak. This is due in part to the technology itself but also the economy and the overall strategy of the applications. In this research, the conditions in which RFID adoption is applicable are first synthesized. The merit of RFID is then further exploited for the public transportation applications. By employing RFID along with other communication technologies, public transportation vehicles can be identified and tracked during their services. With the ability to “calibrate” where exactly such vehicles are along their routes, the arrival time for the vehicles to the stops can be estimated more accurately. Passengers can then keep shorter lead time to meet the vehicle schedule; service providers may on the other hand provide the same level of passenger service with less frequent vehicle services.
