INTRODUCTION
Operating a managed, busy parking lot can pose significant challenges, especially to a government organization that also owns some of the vehicles in the lot. The parking area has to be secure, with barrier-enforced entrances and exits. It also has to have an automated, efficient monitoring system that allows for accurate vehicle tracking as well as easy in-and-out access for drivers. 1.1 Introduction to RFID Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. The technology requires some extent of cooperation of an RFID reader and an RFID tag.An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader. 1.2 What is RFID? A basic RFID system consists of three components: a) An antenna or coil b) A transceiver (with decoder) c) A transponder (RF tag) Electronically programmed with unique information. There are many different types of RFID systems out in the market. They are categorized according to frequency ranges. Some of the most commonly used RFID kits are as follows: 1) Low-frequency (30 KHz to 500 KHz) 2) Mid-Frequency (900KHz to 1500MHz) 3) High Frequency (2.4GHz to 2.5GHz) These frequency ranges mostly tell the RF ranges of the tags from low frequency tag ranging from 3m to 5m, mid-frequency ranging from 5m to 17m and high frequency ranging from 5ft to 90ft. The cost of the system is based according to there ranges with low-frequency system ranging from a few hundred dollars to a high-frequency system ranging somewhere near 5000 dollars. there
1.3 RFID Components A basic RFID system consist of three components: An antenna or coil A transceiver (with decoder) A transponder (RF tag) electronically programmed with unique information
1.4 RFID Antenna The antenna emits radio signals to activate the tag and read/write data from/to it. It is the conduit between the tag and the transceiver, which controls the systems data acquisition and communication. 1.5 RF transceiver RF transceiver is the source of RF energy used to activate and power the passive RFID tags. It may be enclosed in the same cabinet as the reader or it may be a separate piece of equipment. When provided as a separate piece of equipment, the transceiver is commonly referred to as an RF module. RF transceiver controls and modulates the radio frequencies that the antenna transmits and receives. The transceiver filters and amplifies the backscatter signal from a passive RFID tag. 1.6 Software The program for the microcontroller will be written in C and compiled using Keil software to generate the hex code. The program coding starts with #include<reg51.h> and #include<string.h> header files. The microcontroller port pins are defined using sbit function for interfacing with the surrounding peripherals.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
Operating a managed, busy parking lot can pose significant challenges, especially to a government organization that also owns some of the vehicles in the lot. The parking area has to be secure, with barrier-enforced entrances and exits. It also has to have an automated, efficient monitoring system that allows for accurate vehicle tracking as well as easy in-andout access for drivers.
The idea to this project initially was gathered from an article given in Electronics For You magazine January 2012 issue titled RFID Based Automatic Vehicle Tracking System.
Also the project includes various discrete components which required deep study of some components involved like rfid module, 16x2 LCD and a microcontroller. Passive systems werent useful to track consumers vehicle for theft prevention. Real time tracking system was required that can transmit the collected information about the vehicle after regular intervals or at least could transmit the information when required by monitoring station. Active systems were developed that transmit vehicles data in real time via cellular or satellite networks to a remote computer or data centre. Many vehicle systems that are in use now days are some form of Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL). It is a concept for determining the geographic location of a vehicle and transmitting this information to a remotely located server. The location is determined using GPS and transmission mechanism could be a satellite, terrestrial radio or cellular connection from the vehicle to a radio receiver, satellite or nearby cell tower. Other options for determining actual location, for example in environments where GPS illumination is poor, are dead reckoning, i.e. inertial navigation or active RFID systems or cooperative RTLS systems. After capture, the tracking data can be transmitted using any choice of telemetry or wireless communications systems.
