Abstract

 Vehicle tracking has increased in use over the past few years and, based on current trends, this rise should continue. Tracking offers benefits to both private and public sector individuals, allowing for real-time visibility of vehicles and the ability to receive advanced information regarding legal existence and security status. On a busy road, identifying unregistered vehicles are very tough and troublesome for the authority. In Bangladesh traffic polices do not have any technology that can identify quickly fraud registrations on full roads. Traffic polices gets very late information about illegal vehicles and identifying those is more difficult. The current manual checking is also annoying for legal paper holders. This paper looks at the reality of existing problems of recognition of vehicles by traffic control department of Dhaka –the capital of Bangladesh and a feasibility study to implement RFID technology to solve this.
