Overview
The Novax MetroTag™ Transponder provides the means to transfer a signal from a moving vehicle to an inductive loop imbedded in the roadway beneath the moving vehicle. Mounted to the under carriage of the front of the transit vehicle. The transmitter is powered by the vehicles 12-volt DC system. Using an onboard microprocessor the MetroTag™ transmits a continuous field which is 100% compatible for use with the existing ‘Streetcar Receiver Module’ (SRM) technology.
