Method of Traffic Safety Enhancement with Use of RFID Technologies and its Implementation

Abstract A new solution for the problem of traffic safety regulation with use of RFID technologies is suggested. Traffic safety enhancement is achieved by polling with a modulated radio signal of all electronic analogues of traffic signs and traffic lights representing RFID markings duplicating main traffic signs and traffic lights and located on them directly or nearby. Polling is performed with a radio signal from a transmitter/receiver unit (radar) focused on a narrow zone of radiation action. The suggested method as distinct from the known ones allows for active control of traffic speed in high-risk areas, elimination of the risk of traffic movement along tram rails, pavements and bus lanes as well as for stopping a car when police chases an offender.
