ITS Applications of UHF RFID Technology

 Ultra-high Radio Frequency Identification (UHF RFID), with frequency band between 860MHz and 960MHz, is contactless and automatic identification technology that identifies and programs target (generally RFID tag attached on the object) without any human intervention. Its typical communication range is 4 to 6 meters, with maximum range over 10 meters. From technical and applicable perspectives, RFID tag is not a perfect carrier for storing large amount of data, but an effective means to identify targeted object in a contactless way.

 

Ultra-high Radio Frequency Identification is a practical and flexible technology that can work in harsh environment and is especially suitable for automatic control application. Currently, UHF RFID technology is widely used in fields like communication transmission, industrial automation, commercial automation and identity authentication, while long-range RF products are typically applied to intelligent transportation (ITS).

 

1. Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)

 

Electronic tolling system collects the toll via wireless communication between in-vehicle RFID tag and authorized RFID reader at the tolling point, and then conducts settlement processing with banks via computer network. Vehicles therefore can pass through the tolling points directly without stopping to pay the toll.

 

2. Electronic Vehicle Registration (EVR)

 

The EVR system uses RFID technology to automatically identify vehicles, validate the identity, status, and authenticity of vehicle data. The system is widely used for vehicle monitoring purpose, and can be applied to customs, ports and chemical industrial park to improve throughput efficiency and conducts real-time monitoring.

 

3. Traffic Control System

 

UHF RFID technology can be used as an effective means to collect real-time vehicular data in traffic control system. The system analyzes the data acquired, and then performs optimal traffic signal control in accordance with the constantly changing road traffic conditions.

 

4. Smart Parking

 

RFID-based smart parking system is similar to RFID-based tolling system, with UHF RFID reader installed at the entry and exit to identify the tags in the vehicle. It collects parking fees without having to stop vehicles. It can also be used for monitoring and control purpose, such as bus terminal management.

 

As a leading provider of core equipment and intelligent traffic solutions for smart transportation in smart city and the Internet of Things, Genvict has core technologies in RFID, DSRC and V2X, and can provide governments, operators and private firms with end-to-end RFID-based ITS solutions.

What is ETC Transponder?

图片
ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) transponder is a small wireless communication device installed in a vehicle for electronic tolling purpose. When the vehicle passes the toll point, roadside transceiver reads out data stored in the transponder, and then the system automatically deducts the toll payable.   At present, the electronic tolling technologies vary from country to country. What are the pros and cons of ETC transponders that adopt different technologies?   1. Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC): It is the mainstream technology for electronic toll collection, applied in countries such as China, Japan, Korean, Singapore and most European countries. DSRC technology has higher vehicle identification precision and is mature in tolling application, but it costs relatively high in terms of in-vehicle transponder (DSRC on-board unit/OBU).   2. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID): The world's first large-scale RFID-based tolling system opened in Taiwan in 2012. Th...

What is Electronic Toll Collection?

  ETC electronic toll collection  is an automatic toll system  applied to expressways, toll bridges and tunnels. Generally, the system collects the toll via wireless communication between in-vehicle transponders and roadside transceivers, and conducts settlement processing with banks via computer network. Vehicles therefore can pass through the tolling points directly without stopping to pay the toll.   Typical method for implementing electronic toll collection is tolling via wireless communication, while automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is now starting to gain ground in some countries.   Tolling via wireless communication:   The system collects the toll via wireless communication between the roadside transceiver and in-vehicle transponder, which is the mainstream approach adopted in most of the countries. There are various types of wireless communication for tolling, ranging from dedicated short-range communication (DSRC), radio frequency identifi...
