Abstract

The role of RFID technology in real-life applications are making positive impacts on the application’s efficiency. A much faster and accurate data can be acquired and stored if associated with database system in real-time. The volume of vehicles on road in Malaysia increasing tremendously every year and yet there is not any effective database system has been developed to record the information of the vehicles passing the toll gates. The current Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) using integrated camera system facing difficulties in succession rate due to various in features of vehicle number plate. This causes a difficulty in developing a real-time database on vehicles’ information accessing toll gates. The objective of this project is to develop a RFID detection system with a real-time database on vehicles’ information accessing toll gates, set up a data presentation dashboard as a user interface and to analyze the traffic data from the developed databases. This project used a small single-board computer to process tag’s serial number from microcontroller and store it in database in real-time. A microcontroller has been used to connect the RFID scanner. High Frequency (HF) RFID passive tag and reader used for detection. Node-RED acts as a platform to virtually connect the microcontroller, databases, and other string messages output. The databases have been added as data source in Grafana which acts as data visualization platform. Three presentation panels have been created that display the information of the vehicles’ information passing the toll gate, traffic volume and bar chart of vehicle type volume. As a solution, an RFID-based real-time database on vehicles’ information accessing toll gates with a functional user interface has been developed.
