ABSTRACT

The use of communication technology system called Power Line communication (PLC), which consists of data communication through the grid network that is available in the urban center. Another feature of the STI for BRT is that the environment will exchange data packets small, so the use of narrowband technologies is possible. The goal of the intelligent transport system (ITS) for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is to improve the public transport in relation to security, usability, mobility, quality and productivity through the use of information and communication technologies and one of the main problems is to ensure that elements of his, such as buses, sensors, actuators, lights, among others exchanging data with them, due to the size of this environment, the communication infrastructure between the transportation management system (TMS) and its components is extremely important . This work was considered the evaluation of two narrowband PLC initiatives, PRIME and G3, which has similar physical layer and privileges of high Prime data rates in favorable conditions and G3 delivers better performance in unfavorable conditions. The project can be used as a data communication channel for communication among its elements BRT because the communication calls for a low bit rate.
