I}ntelligent Traffic Control and Vehicle Tracking System Using {RFID

Dr. B. Viswanathan; V. Sukhadha

Radio Frequency identification is an upcoming method of tracking moving or stationary items. By extending this technology to traffic control and automation, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) can be used to reduce traffic congestion and avoid accidents efficiently. In this paper, the RFID technology current applications are outlined and are extended to be used in traffic and emergency systems. Specifically, a unique method has been suggested for flexible signaling. Traffic signals need not be static and can be made dynamic by intelligent use of RFID technology depending upon the road traffic conditions. This project suggests ways for handling emergency situations such as accidents. Also the intelligent traffic control system has been enhanced for future applications..A novel method is proposed to tackle transport related issues which includes implementation of traffic control using ANT Algorithm. Applications such as vehicle tracking, accident alert are also explained in this paper.
