Automatic traffic control using NFC

WHAT IS NFC???
NFC or Near Field Communication is a short range high frequency
wireless communication technology.
A radio communication is established by touching the two phones
or keeping them in proximity of a few centimeters.
NFC is mainly aimed for mobile or handheld devices.
NFC is an extension of Radio frequency identification or RFID
technology.
RFID is mainly used for tracking and identification by sending
radio waves.
In 2004, NFC Forum was formed by Nokia, Philips, and Sony, to
set standards for NFC. Every NFC enabled device will have N-
Mark trademark, developed by NFC Forum.
Near field communication is based on inductive-coupling.
NFC works using magnetic induction between two loop antennas
located within each other's 'near field.
NFC provides unique advantages over other available wireless
technologies.
The design includes a near-field transmitter and receiver to send
data from one computer to another.

NFC uses an initiator and a target; the initiator actively generates an RF field
that can power a passive target.

MODES OF OPERATION:
In Active mode, both devices with NFC chip generate an electromagnetic field and
exchange data.

In Passive mode, there is only one active device and the other uses that field
to exchange information.
Modulation/Demodulation Scheme:
Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)
VCO produces a frequency-modulated signal at the transmitter
Phase lock loop demodulates the signal at the receiver.
Tracks the frequency and phase of the input
Frequency of an FSK signal changes according to the data bits; therefore,
PLL can demodulate an FSK signal.

Abstract

In every day there are millions of vehicles are passing on the roads due to
urbanization. Transportation Department plays an important role in the features
like Time, safety and efficiency but due to the lack of awareness Accidents occurs
as usual and the consecutive things will be delayed then it gives the loose of the
life also. Here the proposed paper describes the process for avoiding the above
mentioned issues. It is ARM7 based system the core hardware has modules such as
CC2500 RF Transceiver, GPS, GSM wireless transmission will try to compensate
the new transport related issues. Applications such as accident alert, traffic rule
violation control and special zone are explained in this paper. An efficient
utilization of communication link between RF Modems over a wireless channel to
provides the information regarding vehicle monitoring, vehicle authentication. The
implemented system is a more convenient to automatically sending information to
above such applications.

WORKING:

We have used ARM7 as a base device. GPS, GSM module, MMA7660FC
and CC2500 RF Transceivers is connected with SPI port of the controller.
Whenever vehicle meets with an accident the MMA7660FC triggers the embedded
module for rescue operation. Embedded module gets area information from GPS
receiver module and the alert information is sent through the GSM module. GPS
receiver gets area information on the road unit. This will as control accident ratio.
In addition to embedded module one special RF transceiver is placed inside vehicle
to transmit vehicle information. In the traffic signal management system RF
transceiver reader and display informer unit are connected with serial port of the
microcontroller. If vehicle insurance, pollution test, FC is not proper, the alert
system will produce beep sound and vehicle number is displayed. Then the traffic
police can easily alert the driver / owner. Traffic signal is managed by counting the
number of vehicles crossing the reader area in a particular time interval. Here the
data collected by the antennas are given to the reader via multiplexer switch. By
this we can manage the traffic intelligently.
