Data processing system for provisioning transit stops uin a transmit system
First Claim
1. A data system for provisioning transit stops in a transit system with data concerning estimated arrival time of a transit vehicle at a specific transit stop, wherein said transit system comprises a plurality of transit vehicles, each having its own unique identity, and a plurality of specific transit stops at which any specific transit vehicle scheduled to stop from time to time;
- characterized by;
a central computer;
at least a microprocessor at each individual transit stop, each having its own identity whereby each transit stop has its own identity, whereby each transit stop has its own unique identity;
first communication means at each transit stop, adapted to communicate with said central computer so as to selectively send data thereto and receive data therefrom;
second communication means on each transit vehicle, adapted to communicate with said central computer so as to transmit data thereto which are indicative of the present location or driving conditions for each specific transit vehicle at any instant in time;
a security activator at each transit stop adapted to transmit a signal to said central computer that an emergency situation exists at that respective transit stop, when activated; and
annunciator means at each transit stop adapted to provide visual and/or audible announcements to transit riders thereat;
wherein said central computer is adapted to analyse the present location or driving condition data for any specific transit vehicle and to transmit data to a specific transit stop concerning the then estimated arrival time of a specific transit vehicle to that specific transit stop, at any instant in time; and
wherein said central computer is adapted to receive a signal indicating an emergency situation at any specific transit stop at any instant in time, and to notify public authorities of that emergency situation.

Abstract
A data system for provisioning transit stops in a transit system is such that each transit stop has its own unique identity. The data system includes a central computer, at least a microprocessor at each transit stop, first communication means at each transit stop, second communication means on each transit vehicle, a security activator at each transit stop and annunciator means at each transit stop to provide visual and/or audible announcements. The central computer analyses the present location or driving condition data for any specific transit vehicle, and transmits data to a specific transit stop concerning the then estimated arrival time of a specific transit vehicle at that specific transit stop, at any instant in time, in real time. The central computer is adapted to receive a signal indicating an emergency situation at any specific transit stop at any instant in time, and to notify public authorities of that emergency situation.
