Abstract

This study primarily focuses on the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) as a form of traffic flow detection, which transmits collected information related to traffic flow directly to a control system through an RS232 interface. At the same time, the sensor analyzes and judges the information using an extension algorithm designed to achieve the objective of controlling the flow of traffic. In addition, the traffic flow situation is also transmitted to a remote monitoring control system through ZigBee wireless network communication technology. The traffic flow control system developed in this study can perform remote transmission and reduce traffic accidents. And it can also effectively control traffic flow while reducing traffic delay time and maintaining the smooth flow of traffic.
