Abstract
The existing manual vehicle identification system is slow, inaccurate and
provides little data about a vehicle. In this thesis work, fast, accurate and
automatic way of vehicle identification system is proposed. The work focuses
on producing a prototype system in which each vehicle is to be tagged with
unique electronic Identification (ID). Radio frequency identification (RFID)
reader is used to extract the ID in the electronic plate of the vehicle.
Contactless, read only integrated circuit identification device, EM4102 has
been used to emulate the electronic plate of a vehicle while a reader built
using the EM4095 (a CMOS integrated transceiver circuit) is used as RFID
reader.
Experimental investigation was performed on the developed radio frequency
identification system in the laboratory to check for the expected result. The
experimental result demonstrates that the reader reads the ID of the card at
close proximity confirming the functionality of the developed system within
the read range of the used frequency. Finally, a clear set of changes that
could upgrade the prototype to a working system has been presented.
