RFID Helps Keep Utah Transit Authority on Track

Following a one-year pilot, Salt Lake City area bus and rail service provider Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is deploying an ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID-based solution to record when its light-rail trains enter and leave the maintenance yard, and also to track as many as 22 components installed on each car. The system enables the transit authority to better manage its rail fleet, the maintenance of its trains, and individual components.
