RFID Vehicle Plate Number (E-Plate) for Tracking and Management System

Nowadays, internet are used almost in any application and field, even small item registered with code and update in database then can buy it by online system. Numbers of vehicles are significant increase every year and many cases of vehicle theft and missing thus internet of things (IoT) is a technology can be use to overcome the issues. This paper presents on the use of RFID vehicle plate number (e-plate) for tracking and management system. Started by design RFID e-plate antenna based and vehicle plate number size to achieve optimum performance by utilization of plate number size then an RFID chip attached to the plate. Proposed antenna of e-plate design using a low cost FR4 material and antenna band works at 902-928 MHz frequency for UHF RFID application, with result 3.8 dbi antenna gains there is performance improvement compared to the current tag antenna. The shape of antenna is rectangular and has a dimension of 300 mm x 100 mm, which is usually the typical size of the conventional vehicle registration plate number. Since vehicle e-plate used RFID chip and some information stored inside the tag then when RFID readers install at strategic point able capture vehicle information. All information collected by readers can be analyzed for vehicle tracking, monitoring and transportation management system.
