Implementation of RFID data into traffic flow monitoring system

Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of data obtained from RFID tags in the system for monitoring traffic flow. This approach uses a data fusion from camera systems (classically used for video detection, segmental measurement and so on) and RFID reader. The disadvantage of classic cameras systems for measuring speed is the need of good visibility. This problem can be eliminated by the merger of data from the camera system and other identifiers, which can be obtained from the car. Today, RFID tags are used for convenience of transport and for the identification of parts in the production of automobiles. Therefore, we decided to use as other identifying information processed data from some RFID tags placed in the structural parts of the car. Subsequently, we can use data fusion for accurate and relevant identification of the vehicle during bad weather. Subsequently, these data can be used in transport applications as is the estimation of the travel time.
