Vehicle Regulatory System using wireless Vehicle Terminal Unit

Abstract

The proposed approach of Vehicle Regulatory System (VRS) using wireless vehicle terminal unit (VTU)* is based on communication between a Vehicle Terminal Unit and the Outside Terminal (OT). The VTU is placed in the vehicle and sends continuously vehicle basic information code through radio frequency signals in all directions. These signals are captured by the OT (which is connected to outside world) and the records of all Vehicle Terminal Units which are in its communication range are stored in its database. The VTU will consist of basic information of the said vehicle like chassis no, engine no, registration no, validity of registration, type of vehicle etc. This information is stored in the memory (read only) of the VTU at the time of registration in continuous encrypted way. Communication or linking of this system is based on radio frequency signal communication in free license band of frequency (2.41 to 2.49 GHz) and application based communication protocol. The range of operation is about 200 meters. It supports different activities of the authorized vehicle regulatory agencies of that region. This system helps to keep track of the road vehicle movements in specific area. It will create new vision in the field of vehicle monitoring and controlling system for next generation applications.
