Radio Frequency Identification, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Public transport, Tag, Reader, My card.Abstract
RFID technology has been known to be one of the
noteworthy converging technologies of the 20th century. The
technology can be applied in many fields. However, this paper
focuses on the application of the technology in the
transportation industry. The application of RFID in Intelligent
Transport Systems (ITS) is gaining popularity with its
widespread use in the field of toll management and the
management of the overall transport sector. There are many
RFID applications available in the market such as RFID
contactless smart card commonly used in buses and LRTs,
Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI), Electronic Toll
Collection (ETC), Smart Parking, and congestion zone pricing.
In Mashhad, the second largest city of Iran, the "My Card"
is used not only in Public transit but also in car parking, and
soon in taxis and also other public municipality Services. Driven
by such success stories, deployment of RFID technology in
Mashhad is thus encouraged. This work has been carried out
with a purpose to demonstrate benefits of the RFID technology
in developing countries and its application in transport sector.
This paper explores existing technology and surveys a set of
successful implementations in Mashhad for Intelligent
transportation applications .The integration considerations and
challenges facing RFID deployment are also discussed.
