Abstract

In this paper a model of UHF RFID Vehicle Identification System based on EPC Class1 Gen2 is described. The model takes into account the influence of protocol settings, antenna and tranceiver parameters and signal propagation along roads on the system performance. It is shown that the two-ray pathloss model and Rayleigh distribution for BER computation allows to simulate RFID system operation adequately. The estimated protocol settings providing reliable vehicle identification at speed up to 220 kmph are given.
