Design and implementation of Zigbee-RFID based vehicle tracking

Abstract

Intelligent transportation systems have become increasingly important for the public transportation, industries and service sectors. The Economy in big cities is soaring today, and the growing traffic has become a serious challenge. In response for that to provide a solution to improve the traffic condition zigbee based vehicle monitoring is used. This paper seeks to design the RFID and zigbee based system architecture at the network level for tracking the vehicle information which has been sent to the centralized server. The aim of the design is to provide a simple and easy solution to track the location of the moving vehicle. Compared to the old systems, Zigbee based network architecture is able to provide information about the vehicle accurately. The vehicle will be having a unique RFID tag (Radio Frequency Identification). The RFID reader is placed in particular places. For the beneficial features of RFID, we integrate RFID readers into the Vehicle tracking Information System. This RFID reader can check or collect the data and the information is given to the control station through the Zigbee protocol. The Zigbee protocol is used for the messaging service between the control station and the vehicle.
