Abstract
This paper proposed a two factor authentication for vehicle access controls using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and Radio Frequency Identification system (RFID) for the University of Zambia (UNZA) vehicle access points. The University of Zambia is experiencing increasing challenge of car parking space and vehicle access controls to and within campus premises. The survey that was conducted reviewed that members of staff found difficulties finding parking spaces due to intrusion. The survey also reviewed that vehicles have been stolen within campus parking areas without detection. An access control system using integrated ANPR and RFID technologies was developed to provide five authentication states that met different vehicle access point’s requirement. It was built with ‘ORed’ and ‘ANDed’, logic settings to achieve five different states of authentication levels, each suited for a particular access point. The ANRP system used the vehicle number plate to authenticate the vehicle through the use of the camera. On the other hand, the RFID system used the drivers’ card/tag through the RFID card reader to authenticate the user. Daily transaction records were sent to the security center where information would easily be retrieved. Illegal access to restricted areas, threats of theft of motor vehicles and failed transaction recording system was amicably solved by this proposal.
Highlights
With an ever increasing volume of vehicles that enter and leave the University of Zambia (UNZA) campus premises; monitoring and tracking of vehicles, information retrieval as well as control of vehicles‟ access using the current manual system has become impractical
The two main objectives of the study was to develop a two factor authentication system modal for vehicle access control based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technologies
Many researchers have proposed different algorithms covering a wider range of vehicle access control systems using technologies such as RFID and ANPR
Summary
With an ever increasing volume of vehicles that enter and leave the University of Zambia (UNZA) campus premises; monitoring and tracking of vehicles, information retrieval as well as control of vehicles‟ access using the current manual system has become impractical. The two main objectives of the study was to develop a two factor authentication system modal for vehicle access control based on RFID and ANPR technologies. A robust two-factor authentication access control mechanism for vehicles in and out of a restricted premise or car park, using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) was developed. On the other hand, (RFID) is an ADC technology that uses radio-frequency waves to transfer data between a reader and a tag to identify, categorize, and track objects among others. It is fast, reliable and does not require sight of line or contact to communicate [5]. We confined our analysis and application to the University of Zambia
