ZigBee-based Vehicle Access Control System

Vehicle access control system is an important sub-system of the intelligentized residence section. Today, in a growing emphasis on personal and property safety, the control of vehicles’ access authorization and the management of the vehicles’ access authority, access time and access method via computer, is safe and convenient. This paper describes a set of vehicle access control system based on ZigBee wireless technology. In this system, ZigBee coordinator and its terminal nodes installed respectively in the entrance of the district and the vehicles, together form a ZigBee wireless sensor network. This paper mainly introduces the overall structure, hardware platform and software design of this system. The implementation and performance tests of this system are fairly good.
