With the acceleration of urbanization and the development of intelligent transportation technology, traditional means of transportation and vehicle management have gradually revealed shortcomings such as low efficiency, high labor costs, and poor real-time performance. In this context, ultra-high frequency RFID readers based on the Internet of Things technology have gradually come into people's view and become an important technical support for realizing intelligent transportation. This article will deeply explore the typical application scenarios, technical advantages and development trends of ultra-high frequency RFID readers in transportation and vehicle management.

1. Overview of UHF RFID Technology

Ultra-high frequency RFID (Ultra-high Frequency Radio Frequency Identification) is a contactless automatic identification technology with an operating frequency usually between 860MHz and 960MHz, and an identification distance of up to 10 meters or even farther. Compared with low-frequency and high-frequency RFID, UHF RFID has a longer reading distance, faster data transmission speed and stronger anti-interference ability, and is particularly suitable for scenarios that require fast and large-scale identification, such as highways, urban transportation, smart parking and other fields.

The UHF RFID system is mainly composed of three parts:

Electronic tag (Tag): installed on the vehicle or object, containing a readable and writable chip;

Reader (Reader): responsible for sending radio frequency signals and receiving data responded by the tag;

Antenna (Antenna): completes the transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves.

2. Typical applications of UHF RFID in traffic and vehicle management

2.1 ETC system

The ETC system is one of the earliest and most widely used transportation applications of UHF RFID technology. By installing RFID electronic tags on the windshield of the vehicle, the reader on the ETC gantry can complete the information reading and deduction process when the vehicle passes at high speed, realizing barrier-free passage.

Application advantages:

Vehicles do not need to stop, significantly improving traffic efficiency;

Real-time recording of vehicle entry and exit time and path, improving data accuracy;

Reducing manual toll costs and reducing cash transaction risks;

Effectively alleviating highway congestion.

Application case:

Since China promoted the ETC system in 2019, ETC lanes have been widely deployed on highways across the country, and traffic efficiency has increased by more than 30%, becoming an important cornerstone of smart transportation.

2.2 Intelligent parking management system

UHF RFID readers are widely used in intelligent parking systems in shopping malls, residential areas, office buildings and other places. By identifying the RFID tags on the vehicles, they can realize automatic gate opening, entry and exit records, parking metering, reverse vehicle search and other functions.

Application advantages:

No need for manual supervision, automatic identification of license plates and owner information;

Effectively prevent theft of parking spaces or vehicle evasion;

Support integration with mobile phone apps and electronic payment platforms to achieve contactless payment;

Improve the efficiency of parking space use and optimize parking resource allocation.

Technical points:

The system is usually used in conjunction with video license plate recognition technology to further improve the accuracy and reliability of recognition.

2.3 Vehicle identification and access control

In closed or semi-closed areas such as industrial parks, government agencies, and port terminals, the use of UHF RFID readers can automatically identify and verify the permissions of vehicles entering and leaving, thereby improving the efficiency of entrance and exit management.

Application scenarios:

Enterprise employee private car traffic management;

Logistics park freight vehicle batch dispatching;

Port container vehicle loading and unloading dispatching system;

Urban high-security area vehicle traffic control.

System composition:

Usually composed of UHF RFID tags, fixed readers, gate controllers, and background management platforms, which can realize real-time data upload and remote monitoring.

2.4 Urban road intelligent transportation system

On urban roads, by deploying UHF RFID readers and sensing equipment, vehicle flow, speed, emission information, etc. can be collected in real time, providing basic data support for urban traffic signal optimization, congestion prediction and intelligent dispatching.

Application functions:

Real-time road condition monitoring and alarm;

Abnormal vehicle trajectory tracking;

Bus priority identification;

Automatic capture assistance for traffic violations.

Application prospects:
