This paper presents an intelligent traffic management system using RFID technology. The system is capable of providing practically important traffic data which would aid in reducing the travel time for the users. Also, it can be used for other purposes like tracing of stolen cars, vehicles that evade traffic signals/tickets, toll collection or vehicle taxes etc. The system consists of a passive tag, an RFID reader, a microcontroller, a GPRS module, a high-speed server with a database system and a user module. Using RFID technology, this system collects the required data and calculates average speed of vehicles on each road of a city under consideration. It then transmits the acquired data i.e., average speed calculated at various junctions to the central computation server which calculates the time taken by a vehicle to travel in a particular road. Through Dijkstra's algorithm, the central server computes the fastest route to all the nodes (junctions) considering each node as the initial point in the city. Therefore, the system creates a map of shortest time paths of the whole city. This data is accessed by users through an interface module placed in their vehicles.
