• Abstract:
  Radio frequency identification (RFID) transmits the identity of an object or a person wirelessly. It is grouped under ; the broad category of automatic identification technologies with corresponding standards and established protocols. ; RFID is suitable for applications in different industries and has penetrated into several aspects of our lives. The ; versatile features and benefits of RFID technology have proven that RFID can be widely applied in the field of ; transportation to improve driving safety, reduce vehicle collisions, and even help reduce vehicle emissions. ; Generally speaking, the applications of RFID in transportation are still limited and are not scanned and summarized ; well. This paper aims to conduct an extensive literature review to identify the existing and potential applications of ; RFID and its research opportunities and needs in transportation. Existing applications in transportation fields have ; been identified such as safety, operation - including Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and Vehicle ; Infrastructure Integration (VII), security, policy, etc. Obstacles that possibly frustrate the wide and in-depth ; applications of RFID in the transportation area are in the aspects of technology, cost, policy, and privacy. RFID is ; one of the most forceful technologies that will affect a variety of aspects in transportation including ITS. It is ; believed that RFID-based technologies can be extensively exploited to improve transportation safety and security, ; increase the efficiency of the transportation system, ultimately save costs, and, therefore, improve the quality of ; human lives.
