Abstract
A vehicle information system including a tag system mounted in a vehicle. The tag system transmits vehicle-related data acquired from the vehicle to an interrogator. The vehicle information system utilizes a bus in the vehicle with low-cost RF communications in the tag system and an interrogator to remotely access the vehicle-related data as the vehicle exits or enters a designated area. The interrogator provides the vehicle-related data acquired from the tag system to a host computer.
