Smart Transportation System Using RFID

Abstract

The toll collection system in Malaysia has been one of the causes of traffic jams throughout major highways. One of the reasons for this is due to the fact that users need to either stop their car or slow down to pay for their toll fees. With the advancement of technology over the years, in particular, Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), we can expect a faster reading time / response time by the device. By adapting RFID into toll collection system, there will be no need for boom barriers. While it is true that boom barriers avoid defaulters from using the toll, boom barriers also slow down the flow of traffic during peak hours. This project will provide a proof of concept by using a much weaker form of RFID to show that it is viable. The methodology that will be used for this particular project is Agile Unified Process (AUP).
