RFID to monitor traffic


NYC is planning to use Solar Powered RFID sensors to monitor the traffic. The idea is to put the EZPass tags on the cars which will be tracked on a trailer parked on the roadside which reads the tag and transfers through a laptop to the servers. Then when the car passes through the next trailer the time is noted and redirect the traffic. If successful it will be a breakthrough to reduce traffic in the most congested cities.
