Are you planning on installing new transponders for this application?
If so, who would pay for it and why? If it is a use in which the driver
is somehow penalized for being sensed, you would encourage the drivers
to defeat the system. If, on the other hand, it gave the driver better
service in some way, it might be easily accepted.
I am not familiar with Mexican laws, but if you are going to piggyback
off existing transponders, there may be some legal issues there using it
for different purposes. Privacy invasion may also be a legal or social
deterrent.

Well, I believe everything would be new, because there is nothing
installed in the streets of our cities. Still I have to do a lot of
research about the technology and equipment needed to implment the
system, which I´ll describe in the next lines so you get a better idea
and maybe help me a little bit more. For example I´m not sure what is to
piggiback off existing transponders or how to do it.
In mexico cities like any city around the world we have a lot of public
urban transportation mostly buses, they move around the city and stop in
some specific places so that a person annotates in a piece of paper the
hour:minute they went through so that their drivers performance is
evaluated and the position of the bus "monitored". They have to go
through this "stops" and they want to, so it´s a good service for the
driver, and the owner of the vehicles.
So, my hypotesis is that a monitoring system, based on RFID could
substitute this person and also give a plus like being able to
communicate with the rest of the system and integrate the data into a
database so that everything can be seen from the administrative or
supervising staff´s computer system.
I don´t know if this is too expensive or impossible to implement but
I´ve to learn, try and see what comes from this idea.
Thank you,
