This system is used on the SEPTA BSS. The loop broadcasts an identifier, either something like "Hey, I'm express" or "Hey, I need to take the diverging route" and trackside equipment picks up the RF code and then lines the route accordingly. Think of it as a wireless punchbox.

This system could easily be modified to effect automated platform sinage.

You can see the IDENTRA loops on the front of these SEPTA BSS cars.

See, you ask a good question and you get a good answer.
