Research Abstract:
It is anticipated that great applications of Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) technologies in transportation
operations are foreseen in next few years. The lower cost
producing and the long-lasting energy supply enables RFID
technology with potential applications in many areas
including transportation and logistics. Under the RFID
equipped vehicle and highway system, almost all components
(vehicles, highways, traffic signals, signs, symbols,
pavement markers, etc.) can be provided with the
long-lasting and cheap RFID tags or labels. RFID system
typically includes an RFID device containing data, an
antenna transmitting signals, an Radio Frequency (RF)
transceiver generating signals, and a reader receiving RF
transmissions. This research is intended to investigate the
potential RFID applications in transportation operations
through literature review and survey; and identify the
possibility of incorporating RFID into the Intelligent
Transportation System (ITS).
