Abstract
Traffic congestion is a significant issue in developing countries worldwide, caused by signal failures, poor law enforcement, and inadequate traffic management. Since infrastructure expansion is limited, enhancing traffic management is the only viable solution. Methods like video analysis, infrared sensors, inductive loop detection, and wireless networks are effective for smart traffic management. However, their high installation and maintenance costs, along with lengthy setup times, pose significant challenges. A new technology, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), integrated with existing signaling systems, offers a real-time smart traffic management solution. RFID is quicker and cheaper to install, reduces congestion, detects bottlenecks early, and saves time and money. This paper presents a framework to use RFID effectively to enhance traffic management. This work investigates the architecture and components of RFID-based traffic management systems, including RFID tags, readers, and data processing units. Additionally, the paper discusses the challenges and limitations of RFID implementation, including privacy concerns, infrastructure costs, and integration with existing traffic management systems.
Keywords: GSM, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Traffic congestion.
