Abstract :
Bus rapid transit (BRT) system is the key technology of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). This paper is about the research on a hierarchical BRT system based on multi-tier wireless sensor networks (WSN). It maps the features of WSN to BRT system and provides solutions for BRT technologies, such as transit signal priority.
