A new automatic train identification system based on RFID

Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an increasingly widespread and applied technology of automatic identification. Its advantage is non-contact data reading, and it can easily realize automatic data acquisition. In current Automatic Train Identification System (ATIS), RFID technology has been widely applied, however, as the aspect of the Internet of Things, this system is blocking. This paper proposed a new Automatic Train Identification System (ATIS) based on RFID, realizing the system as a bridge made the Internet of Things completely. This new system is an idea that considers the condition of railway transportation, owning mutual benefits with the other systems when combined into the Internet of Things. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
