The paper introduces the research to develop an active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) -based national Traffic Information Collection System (TICS) in ubiquitous environments in order to renovate the integrated national traffic management systems. The study of RFID -based traffic collection system mainly focuses on: i) 2.45GHz active RFID readers and tags; ii) RFID middleware and DB structure, and application S/W; and iii) network architecture to deploy TICS nationwide. The paper investigates and analyzes possible network architecture for TICS when it is deployed nationwide, and suggests efficient network configurations. For communication between user terminals in vehicles and the central system, WiBro (mobile WiMAX) and High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) networks are recommended and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) evaluation is performed for elaborate exploration of WiBro networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
