  5. 2. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) • RFID system review • RFID communication

  6. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) • What is RFID? • Identify physical objects • through a radio interface • Identification? • Assign ID to each object • Bar code, license plate, student ID • How does RFID work? • RFID tag + RFID reader + antenna • Backscattering coupling (UHF) Antenna Chip 02.3DFEX4.78AF51 EasyToll card #816

  7. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) • Tag type • Radio frequency range www.hitachi.com & www.vicariousconversations.com

  9. 3. RFID in Vehicular Applications • RFID-enabled Vehicular Applications • On-board RFID reader system

  10. RFID-enabled Vehicular Applications • Methodology of data producer/consumer • RFID tag • Stores data in memory, which is provided to RFID readers • A data producer • RFID reader • Obtains RFID data from tags and utilizes it for further programs • A data consumer Each vehicle is a data producer !!

  11. RFID-enabled Vehicular Applications cs.rutgers.edu • Tag on vehicle (data producer) • Readers are on the roadside • Automatic toll collection • Intelligent traffic signal system • Electronic license plate • Priority lane management • Lane reservation and enforcement Reservation/ Enforcement System www.ti.com Enforce Enforce Reserve Reserve RFID Reader/ Camera Low-Priority Lanes Lane Entrance Assistance System High-Priority Lane

  12. RFID-enabled Vehicular Applications • Reader on vehicle (data consumer) • Tags on the roadside units (road surface, sign post, direction sign) • RFID positioning and Road beacon system (RBS) • Lane-level GPS (Donath’06) • RFID tags along each lane contains useful data (e.g., position) • Intersection collision avoidance, • Enhancement of driver’s situation awareness, • Lane by lane incident management RFID reader RFID tag

  13. RFID-enabled Vehicular Applications • Tag/reader on vehicle (data prosumer) • Intelligent priority lane management • Peer localization RFID tag RFID reader

  14. On-board RFID Reader System • Challenges • High vehicle speed • Faster than 100Km/h on a freeway • Short communication distance • Much less chance of RFID communication • Random mobility of reader • Reader position affects performance significantly than tag placement • Random fading effects 0.3m RFID tag 3m~4m RFID reader

  15. On-board RFID Reader System • Motivation • Initial deployment of RFID reader/tag is important for better performance • Necessary to measure performance in a real test road • In this work, we • Install RFID reader on a vehicle and tags on a road surface • Evaluate RFID read performance in a laboratory environment • Propose antenna diversity and tag multiplicity for improvement • Conduct a road test to study feasibility of the system

  16. 4. Understand RFID Read Rate • Specification of the RFID system • RFID performance • RFID read area • Read latency • RFID read rate

  17. RFID System

  18. RFID Performance • RFID read area • Size and moving speed Moving speed of RFID area RFID read area For instance, if h=37.5cm and θ=45°, then X1=58.58cm and X2=185.63cm Measured X2≒100cm (1m) RFID communication should occur in 1m read area within 36m

  19. RFID Performance • Read latency • Time period when one RFID communication occurs • Measured 38.39ms on average • Mostly due to the maximum pause time of the tag: 62.5ms • However, • RFID read area moves at 36ms > 38.39ms • Even 60ms at 60km/h < 62.5ms • RFID read rate High possibility of RFID communication failure <- 36ms 38.39ms # of tags successfully read = ----------------------- total # of tags deployed

  20. Laboratory Experiment • Experiment setup • RFID reader antenna • Height • Pitch angle • Antenna diversity • RFID tag • Yaw angle • Pitch angle • Tag multiplicity • Result

  21. Laboratory Experiment • Target performance • 0.5m of read area and 18m of read latency • Height of RFID reader antenna h=30cm • Similar performance in h=20~40cm • Height of the test vehicle is 30cm • Installation • RFID reader antenna & RFID tag 18ms of read latency RFID reader antenna RFID tag 30°of tag yaw angle and 30°of antenna pitch angle 0.5m

  22. RFID Reader Antenna • Pitch angle • Varying pitch angle of the antennas • Measure the read area given 18ms of read latency • 30° of pitch angle RFID tags are attached on the floor with 0°

  23. RFID Reader Antenna RFID Tag 80 cm 78 cm • Antenna diversity • Install one and dual antenna(s) • Measure the read area given 18ms of read latency 43 cm 65 cm RFID Reader Antenna RFID Reader Antenna 2 RFID Reader Antenna 1 1.5m 3m 1 Antenna 2m 0.86m 2 Antennas 1.3m RFID Tag

  24. RFID Tag • Yaw angle and pitch angle • Measure the read latency given 0.5m of the read area • Both are set 0° 30° of reader antenna

  25. RFID Tag • Tag multiplicity • To mitigate effect of the random pause time • Measure the read latency given 0.5m of the read area • Cluster model 3 having 3 or 4 member tags Cluster 2 Cluster 4 Cluster 3 Cluster 1

  26. Results • RFID communication successfully occurs within 0.8m of RFID read area and 18ms of read latency • Antenna diversity and tag multiplicity • Showed improved performance • Estimation of the maximum vehicle speed • At which RFID communication can occur • 161.7km/h • Equivalent to previous researches

  27. Road Test • Test road configuration • Effect of antenna diversity • Effect of tag multiplicity

  28. Server Test Road RFID Reader RFID Tag RFID Reader Antenna Test scenarios with variables Deployment parameters

  29. Road Test • Effect of antenna diversity • Proof of concept in terms of width • Reduced length does not affect performance much Average duplication read 1 Antenna 1.5m 3m 2m 0.86m Average read rate 1.3m RFID Tag 2 Antennas
