System and method for collecting object identification data from a plurality of objects that interact with a vehicle during operation of the vehicle, where the vehicle interacts with specific objects at specific geographical positions. An identification sensor is coupled to a geographical position sensor, and whenever an object is identified a record is generated, the record including the identification of the object, the position of the vehicle when the interaction between the object and the vehicle occurs, and the time of the interaction. Exemplary objects include passengers, containers, and documents. Exemplary interactions include loading/unloading an object from the vehicle, boarding a passenger, unloading a passenger, transferring a bulk material from the vehicle into a specific container, and/or transferring a bulk material from a specific container to the vehicle. The record may also include additional data about a parameter of the object (such as the object's weight, volume, or temperature).

1. A method of accounting for passengers on a bus having a location sensing element receiver and a set of exits and that has a regular route, in which each passenger has a predesignated stop to disembark: (a) providing a machine readable token for each passenger;(b) providing a token reading machine
1. A method of accounting for passengers on a bus having a location sensing element receiver and a set of exits and that has a regular route, in which each passenger has a predesignated stop to disembark: (a) providing a machine readable token for each passenger;(b) providing a token reading machine at each said exit;(c) providing a computer communicatively coupled to said location sensing element and having computer memory, having a list of route stop locations and matching each passenger with a route stop,(d) a signaling device, responsive to said computer and capable of signaling a proper passenger exit and an improper passenger exit;(e) requiring each passenger to have his token read by one of said token reading machines as he disembarks; and(f) wherein said computer compares a reading from said location sensing element to determine at which predesignated stop said bus is located and causes said signaling device to signal a proper passenger exit when a passenger has his token read at a stop for which he is paired in computer memory and signal an improper passenger exit when a passenger has his token read at a stop for which he is not matched in said computer memory. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said bus has a single exit, only. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said tokens each include an RFID tag, and said token reading machine is an RFID reader. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said tokens each include a bar code, and said token reading machine is a bar code reader. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said tokens each include a magnetic strip and wherein said token reading machine is a magnetic strip reader. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said computer stores a record of each passenger exit in said memory, thereby creating a record of passenger exits. 7. The method of claim 6, further including the step of providing a remote station and periodically transmitting said record of passenger exits to said remote station. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein each record of a passenger exit is time and location stamped. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein users who are remote from said remote station can log in, using identifying indicia, to access said record of passenger exits. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said users are divided into different classes, a first class of users being able to access all of said record of passenger exits, whereas a second class of users can access a record of passenger exits for a subset of passengers. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein said computer causes an electronic communication to be sent, when a passenger exits said bus. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein said electronic communication is a text message. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein said electronic communication is an Email. 14. The method of claim 1, further including providing a display located for viewing by a bus driver, said display responsive to said computer to show a list of passengers and for each passenger a designated exit stop. 15. A system of accounting for passengers on a bus equipped with a location sensing element receiver and having a set of exits and that has a regular route, in which each passenger has a predesignated stop to disembark: (a) a set of machine readable tokens, a token in position of each passenger;(b) a token reading machine at each said exit;(c) a computer having computer memory, having a list of stop locations and matching each passenger with a route stop;(d) a signaling device, responsive to said computer and capable of signaling a proper passenger exit and an improper passenger exit; and(e) wherein said computer compares location information from said location sensing element with said set of stops, to determine when said bus is at each stop and causes said signaling device to signal a proper passenger exit when a passenger has his token read at a stop for which he is paired in computer memory and signal an improper passenger exit when a passenger has his token read at a stop for which he is not matched in said computer memory. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein said bus has a single exit, only. 17. The system of claim 15, wherein said tokens each include an RFID tag, and said token reading machine is an RFID reader. 18. The system of claim 15, wherein said tokens each include a bar code, and said token reading machine is a bar code reader. 19. The system of claim 15, wherein said tokens each include a magnetic strip and wherein said token reading machine is a magnetic strip reader. 20. The system of claim 15, wherein said computer stores a record of each passenger exit in said memory, thereby creating a record of passenger exits. 21. The system of claim 20, further including a transmitter that periodically transmits said record of passenger exits to a remote station. 22. The system of claim 20, wherein each record of a passenger exit is time and location stamped.
