An Embedded system and RFID solution for transport related

issues
ABSTRACT:

There are millions of vehicles are passing through roads every day. Time,
safety and efficiency are the major factors, while mode of transportation plays an
important role in urbanization. Through this paper integrated solution has been
offered to the transport related issues based on Atmel controller.

It is the core which has hardware modules such as RFID, GPS, GSM and
MEMS to handle the new transport related issues viz. Accident alert, Toll gate
control, Parking slot management, Traffic rule violation control and special
zone are explained in this paper. An efficient utilization of communication link
between RF Modems over a wireless channel to facilitate vehicle monitoring,
vehicle authentication and automated toll collection on the highways is proposed.
The implemented system is a more convenient to automatically sending
information to above such applications.

The advanced in the technologies related to wireless communication has led
to the emergence of several engineering designs to aid the human requirements. In
this fast paced modern world we are facing a number of transport related problems.
RFID technology can be effectively used to solve some of them. Some of the
problems that require immediate attention are accident risk management,
environment alert, traffic rule violation control, parking slot arrangement, tollgate
management, vehicle theft identification and traffic signal management.

GPS technology provides the on road area information and environment
alerts (such as school zone, industry, market, bridge etc.).

One RFID is placed in vehicle with owner info, RC book, insurance details,
service details etc. to send vehicle identification to traffic information database.
RFID reader will be placed with embedded controller Toll Gates, Parking areas
and also in traffic signal areas. on board vehicle system, traffic light controls, toll
gate management, parking slot arrangement and accident alert system.




Whenever vehicle meets with an accident, at that time MEMS device
activates on the GPS using on board ARM7. We arranged one GPS and one GSM
combine embedded system board is arranged in vehicle, the accident location will
be traced with GPS receiver. The GPS receiver continuously tracks the information
of geographical earth and data will be sending to mobile number from which
number we will receive the message. We placed GSM module with embedded unit
in the moving vehicle to transmit accident information to different points. The
system reads area information and then the details are transmitted to the specific
numbers stored in database (Police station, Owner and Hospital).

Whenever the vehicle entering in to the parking area, the reader identifies
the vehicle and allots particular slot and also initiates bill creation at the time of
exit. Almost similar concept is followed in Automated Toll gate system. Whenever
the vehicle crosses the traffic signal area, the data from Vehicle tag is read and
based on the traffic density, traffic signal is enabled. By this traffic problem is
managed intelligently.

If vehicle insurance is not renewed in time, the traffic police will be alerted.
Special zone information is transmitted to GPS receiver connected with vehicle
embedded kit, it alarms driver about the zone.

This project uses regulated 5V, 750mA power supply. 7805 three terminal
voltage regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is
used to rectify the ac output of secondary of 230/18V step down transformer.
