RFID, a wireless technology,
helps in creating an integrated and secure urban environment, making its use in
smart city solutions imperative.
RFID tags are small electronic
devices that store information and can communicate with other devices using
radio waves. Many of the smart city solutions developed by NEC India use them.
This wireless technology, which
is similar to IoT, helps create a seamless integrated urban environment to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and overall quality of life. Smart waste
management, smart fare collection systems, and smart parking management systems
use the technology to ensure efficiency.
In a smart parking management
system, RFID is used to give entry to the vehicle in a
parking lot. Unauthorized entry can be prevented in a parking lot as it
authenticates the vehicle before giving it entry.
RFID-enabled smart cards can be
used to make payments for fares in transport utility. The RFID reader
identifies the passenger with pinpoint accuracy to provide frictionless access.
In smart waste management,
door-to-door collection of waste can be strengthened using RFID tags. The bins
tagged with these electronic devices give an indication of the fill level. With
the help of data about the waste bins that need to be collected, the waste
collection vehicles can optimize their route, ensuring the efficiency of waste
management.
In addition, the RFID tags can
also be attached to the vehicles. Tracking of the waste collection vehicles
from a central location will be possible with RFID. This ensures that there is
no neglect in solid waste management.
These
electronic devices can be used to give occupants smart access in government
offices, convention centers, hospitals, and schools, among others. This enhances
the security of set-up by providing authorized entry. It will also reduce the
requirement of security personnel.
RFID is also used in logistics to
ensure visibility in the supply chain. Containers tagged with these electronic
devices can be tracked efficiently.
