  1. ITS Infrastructure Utilities RFID’s Are Not Just For Tolling.

  2. Over the past 10 years, we've gone from a world in which very few knew of RFID, to one in which the technology exceeded the rate of practical adoption. Today RFID’s are found in automated data collection, identification, and location systems worldwide. The use of RFID’s are growing.  Early retail influenced a new-generation of solutions.  Could the RFID market be primed to deliver the significant impactto the ITS/Transportation Industry. Definitely YES.

  3. What is a RFID device? Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the use of a wireless non-contact system that uses radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data from a device/tag referencing an object, for the purposes of automatic identification and tracking. Some tags require no battery and are powered and read at short ranges via magnetic fields (electromagnetic induction). The tag contains electronically stored information which may be read from up to several meters away. Two types of RFID: Passive-no battery and Active-onboard battery. How the passive RFID works: Radio-frequency identificationIn Wikipedia. Retrieved October 14, 2009, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_identification

  4. Uses of RFID’s? • RFID can be used in a variety of transportation applications, such as: • Access management (Infrastructure utilities) • Tracking of goods • Tracking of vehicles • Toll collection and contactless payment (Pay-as-you-go) • Machine readable travel documents • Intermodal tracking logistics • Identification of fixed roadside (Drive-by x-reference with GPS positioning) • And many-many more…

  5. RFID Market Forecast • 2008 RFID Market it 7 Billion • 2010 10 Billion • 2015 the market will go up to 26.9 Billion • Market Share of RFID components • Tags -19% • Readers – 32% • Services – 49% • Forecast by territorial regions show that in 2010, 48% of RFID’s Tags by volume is in East Asia, followed by 32% in North America.

  7. Merging RFID technology with Geographic Information System (GIS) Infrastructure management and protection RFID technology to identify and locate underground infrastructure assets such as gas pipelines, sewer lines, electrical cables, communication cables, etc.

  8. Where this technology is heading? • Asset Management • Web service/access simplicity • Mobile availability • Electronic/Paperless As-builts • O&M virtual support • Reliable/Quality infrastructure data • Distribution of data to internal and external sources. • Regional and state availability of data and resources. • Construction/Project Management Services • Automated data support • Construction project QA/QC of performed work and equipment quantities via barcode • Construction Inspection management
