Kapil K. Shukla, Dr. Bankim Radadiya

Abstract :

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a data collection technology. It uses radio frequency communication to collect data from RFID tags. The RFID system uses two main components namely the RFID card and the RFID reader. Nowadays, Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) Systems are built using two types of RFID Technologies. Active RFID and Passive RFID both are having different functionalities and resource requirements. In this paper we focus on pros and cons of active and passive RFID in context of ETC System.
