A novel RFID multi-tag anti-collision protocol for dynamic vehicle identification.

In order to obtain the information of the vehicle tags in adverse traffic conditions, we proposed a novel reservation framework named reservation to cancel idle-dynamic frame slotted ALOHA (RTCI-DFSA) algorithm. Firstly, the framework employed reservation mechanism to remove idle slot, and thus improve the system identification efficiency. Secondly, the vehicle information was identified by the tag serialization polling identification method. The experimental results showed that the proposed RTCI-DFSA algorithm performed better than the traditional frame slotted ALOHA (FSA) and dynamic frame slotted ALOHA (DFSA) algorithms. More specifically, the tag loss rate of the proposed framework is significantly lower than the frame length fixed and conventional dynamic vehicle identification algorithms. In addition, the experimental results demonstrated that the throughput rate of the proposed algorithm increased from 0.368 to 0.6. Besides, the identification efficiency and applicability of the proposed framework were both higher than other tag identification algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
