VECOM: A POWERFUL LOCAL COMMUNICATION CHANNEL BETWEEN VEHICLE-BORNE AND ROADSIDE SYSTEMS. PROCEEDINGS OF AN ESA WORKSHOP ON LAND MOBILE SERVICES BY SATELLITE (N87-15361 07-32)

A system which provides for an inductive data transmission channel for local communication is described. Data exchange takes place at strategic spots via communication loops, embedded in the road. Though the main applications of the system are in the field of public transit, in other fields of transportation the system might offer interesting possibilities, especially when combined with a long range data communication system.
