RFID Based Vehicle Identification System with Boom Barrier & Automatic Data Capturing from Weigh-Bridge By any of the RFID Readers 1
Executive Summary We propose to implement Project for RFID Based Vehicle Identification System with Boom Barrier, and Automatic Data Capturing from Weigh Bridge Systems for your Organization by supplying & Testing our RFID Hardware with International Standard. In a Manufacturing and Organizational kind of environment, RFID System has significant potential in preventing the theft of Vehicle & Goods loaded in the Vehicle from Company/Office and streamline time consuming operations such as manual security check by guard at exit point of Company/Office. The application developed is compatible with many international standard RFID Readers i.e. - CSL, Motorola, Intermac, Marktrace, Impinj, Alien and many more. 2
Challenges in the Industry The foremost motive of our R&D is to develop an application that can be used with all the RFID Readers of international standard. We have successfully integrated and tested the Readers with our application. We have plug and play system for RFID based Vehicle Identification and Automatic data capturing from Weigh Bridge. The application works with all the Boom Barriers and any of the Weigh Bridges. The average log size in many parts of the world is getting smaller and it is becoming increasingly time consuming and expensive to individually scale each log A credible Vehicle Identification and Automatic Weighing System is essential for any industry for prohibiting the passage of unauthorized vehicles and for them who are using the measurement of weight as a benchmark for sale of a product. Manual Inaccuracy in payload weights can be created by either inaccurate gross weights or variability between the tare weight of the truck and the actual weight of the truck (gross weight minus payload) at the time of gross weighing. It should also have an automated, efficient monitoring system that allows for accurate vehicle identification as well as an easy measuring system for the load 3
Our Solution We Proposes a Passive RFID based Vehicle Management Solution and Automatic Data Capturing from Weighbridge, providing a complete industrial solution. According to the need, size and scale of the industry we can propose the robust RFID Readers best suited for the implementation. This is achieved as the application developed is capable to trigger more than 10 different RFID Readers. Now each Weighbridge will have boom barriers, and entrance of Weighbridge equipped with RFID readers and circular antennas. 4
Each vehicle has a passive tag, which is applied inside the windshield. The windshield tag is a high performance tag that is ideal for plastic and glass 5

As soon as the RFID Reader reads the tags affixed on the trucks its number plate will be automatically displayed on the system software (i.e. client PC). Also the net weight of the load carried by the vehicles can be displayed against respective vehicles in the software. The RFID system can be integrated with software systems for billing, reporting, and revenue collection, that provides even greater cost and time efficiency to operators Rollout of System is quick and easy and can be used in conjunction with existing systems.

Software configuration The system can be connected to a central host or be used in a stand-alone configuration. The Reader has an internal database to which the ID-tags unique identities can be uploaded though software user interface. The reader checks the identity and accepts/rejects the ID-tag based on ID-tag status and software will also interacts with the weighbridge and records the net weight of the Vehicle. This is a cost effective solution for remote installations, where it is difficult or expensive with cable connections to a central host. 8

Benefits of the Solution Our System will eliminate the repetitive job of staffs at weigh station. He does not need to rekey truck license plate number every time when the truck is on the weighbridge. Simultaneously, this can protect the problem of cloning truck. Additionally the RFID and weighing program is integrated with weighbridge. As a result the problem of duplicating or artificial weighing can be removed completely. Delivery materials through weighbridge requires many operation steps starting from queuing, registration for weighing,pre and post loading. These process are operated manually. At the end of weighing, it is needed to repeat doing data entry into ERP system for further process. These operations are not only waste of time but also tend to have high error rate because of human intervention. This also opens room for man made fraud which can cause financial loss to any enterprises. 10
