Using RFID in License Plates and Vignettes for Electronic Vehicle Identification

Abstract

In Cooperation with the J.H. Tönnjes E.A.S.T. GmbH & Co. KG, the BIBA -Bremer Institut für Produktion und Logistik GmbH conducted a project on electronic vehicle identification via RFID at the University of Bremen. The aim of this research was to find the optimal combination of transponder and reading device for a passive RFID system in UHF frequency band and to suggest improvements. Within the tests, RFID vignettes for windshields and RFID license plates of the Tönnjes Group were analysed and optimised. In a followup project the improvements were verified.
