Road sign detection and automatic vehicle mode control system

Abstract

The following project details the creation of an RFID-based system that notifies car drivers of impending traffic signage, and help them keep a distance when approaching road anomalies. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that exchanges data between a terminal and an object, such as a vehicle, product or a person, in order to identify and track it. It communicates with the object via electromagnetic waves. Some tags may be read from a distance of several meters and outside the reader's field of vision. The goal is to create a wireless system that, at the proper distance before the commuter encounters the matching road variations, visibly and audibly communicates road signs (and other road-related information) to the commuter inside his or her car and also revolutionize the way static road signs are used today by offering a more effective and convenient electronic substitute. The device will help to better enforce traffic law and order, prevent accidents and traffic bottlenecks, as well as lessen reliance on road signs in Ugandan cities and highways.
