Intelligent Transportation System Using RFID to Reduce Congestion, Ambulance Priority and Stolen Vehicle Tracking

Abstract

A recent study by IIM revealed that India losses 90,000 crore a year due to traffic congestion, traffic congestion and unpredictable delays in road travel are the problems that are factored in daily lives, use of technology will help in minimizing the congestion, in most of the cities in India, congestion of roads due to vehicular traffic has become a chronic problem with practically no solution coming from Urban Planners or Municipal Corporations and other Government bodies. A slow-moving traffic adds up to cost of travel due to reduction in productivity, late delivery of goods and material adds up to cost of delay, in case of emergency the slow-moving traffic is fatal. Imagine a critically wounded patient in an ambulance stuck in slow moving traffic; such person can die due to delay in reaching hospital. the Root Cause of traffic congestion in the cities and suggested some solutions. Some solutions are implementable with the help of technology, building new infrastructure and some solutions must be driven by Government (Local/State Level/Central). In this paper we are going to propose an intelligent base traffic control system using Wireless networks and wireless sensors, use of GSM transmit data back and forth from the base station. Use of IOT based systems and RFID (radio frequency identification) technology tags installed on the vehicle and RFID tag reader will be installed on each traffic intersection to identify the flow of vehicle and reroute the traffic based on the data received by the RFID reader, RFID tags installed in ambulance will be tagged a priority in all situation.
