Abstract Road accident is the major cause of death in India. Rash driving and without licence driving causes safety problem on the road.

This project enhances road safety and vehicle security by using smart driving licence card. The smart driving licence will use RFID technology. Every rider/driver will be provided with an RFID card which will have a unique identification number. Based on the RFID number the driver can be identified based on the details stored in the database. The identification number will be saved in the database with the personal detail of the driver. A new user can be registered by going to the particular RTO office and entering his/her details in the database. This project aims at automatically scanning the RFID card of the rider/driver without the driver actually stopping at the check post for document verification. The card number will be automatically scanned by the RFID reader which will be placed at both the sides of the road and it will save the date and time at which the rider/driver crossed the check post. Visual studio is used for the front end display of the project to show the details of the driver.

INTRODUCTION

Driving licence is most widely used ID document across the world. Road safety is one of the major concerns to be taken into consideration. RFID tag would make the licence a contactless technology. Verifying IDs more efficiently and making lines at security check points more quicker because information RFID tags can be picked up from many feets away. Accidents occurs due to violation of traffic rules that is driving the vehicle without proper licence. The RFID tag and RFID reader are contained in RFID technology. RFID means Radio Frequency Identification that consists of the tags which can be either active or passive tag.

Passive tag do not have own power supply, much cheaper to manufacture and small coil antenna is used. On the other hand, active tag must have own power supply. RFID reader is an interrogator. It is placed at the position so that when a vehicle passes through it the tag automatically gets detected. There are different vehicle classes like light motor vehicle, heavy motor vehicle, motorcycle with gear, motorcycle without gear etc.

II. SYSTEM DESIGN The proposed design for smart licence card system distinctly consists of five units:  RFID Tag  RFID reader  Pc (computer)  Graphical User Interface  Database

Features of RFID Technology 1) Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. RFID is one method for Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC).

2) RFID is a fast and reliable means of identifying objects. There are two main components. The Interrogator (RFID Reader) which transmits and receives the signal and the Transponder (tag) that is attached to the object.

3) An RFID tag is composed of a miniscule microchip and antenna. RFID tags can be passive or active and come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and forms.

4) An RFID Reader can read through most anything with the exception of conductive materials like water and metal, but with modifications and positioning, even these can be overcome.

III. WORKING PRINCIPLE OF RFID READER A RFID reader's function is to interrogate RFID tags. The means of interrogation is wireless and because the distance is relatively short; line of sight between the reader and tags is not necessary. A reader contains an RF module, which acts as both a transmitter and receiver of radio frequency signals. The transmitter consists of an oscillator to create the carrier frequency; a modulator to impinge data commands upon this carrier signal and an amplifier to boost the signal enough to awaken the tag. The receiver has a demodulator to extract the returned data and also contains an amplifier to strengthen the signal for processing. A microprocessor forms the control unit, which employs an operating system and memory to alter and store the data. The data is now ready to be sent to the network.

IV. WORKING PRINCIPLE OF RFID TAG A radio-frequency identification system uses tags, or labels attached to the objects to be identified. Two-way radio transmitterreceivers called interrogators or readers send a signal to the tag and read its response. RFID tags can be passive, active or battery assisted passive. An active tag has an on-board battery and periodically transmits its ID signal. A battery-assisted passive (BAP) has a small battery on board and is activated when in the presence of an RFID reader. A passive tag is cheaper and smaller because it has no battery instead, the tag uses the radio energy transmitted by the reader. However, to operate a passive tag, it must be illuminated with a power level roughly a thousand times stronger than for signal transmission. That makes a difference in interference and in exposure to radiation. Tags may either be read-only, having a factory-assigned serial number that is used as a key into a database, or may be read/write, where object-specific data can be written into the tag by the system user. Field programmable tags may be write-once, read-multiple; "blank" tags may be written with an electronic product code by the user.

RFID tags contain atleast two parts: an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating a radio-frequency (RF) signal, collecting DC power from the incident reader signal, and other specialized functions; and an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal. The tag information is stored in a non-volatile memory. The RFID tag includes either fixed or programmable logic for processing the transmission and sensor data, respectively. An RFID reader transmits an encoded radio signal to interrogate the tag. The RFID tag receives the message and then responds with its identification and other information. This may be only a unique tag serial number, or may be product-related information such as a stock number, lot or batch number, production date, or other specific information. Since tags have individual serial numbers, the RFID system design can discriminate among several tags that might be within the range of the RFID reader and read them simultaneous.

V. OPERATION OF SYSTEM This project aims at reducing the traffic congestion at the road. The project houses an RFID reader, a unique RFID card is given to all the drivers/riders. The driver/rider has to carry the RFID card while driving the vehicle. When the driver is on the road the RFID reader placed at the both sides of the road will read the RFID card of the driver and stores it into the database including the time and the date when it crossed the check post. The driver does not have to wait at every check post but just pass from the front of the RFID reader. The reader will automatically read the tag and store it into the database. There are people who do not wait at the check post and just runs away so it is difficult to find out the details of that person. Using the RFID card it is possible to overcome this issue as the riders information will directly be displayed at the computer which has the database. The database will be first created when the cards are given to the driver/rider which will include the details of that person.

VI. CONCLUSION The design and implementation of a RFID based automatic licence card system which is the aim and objective of this paper was successfully implemented. Data are more organized, the system is user friendly, data manipulation and retrieval is done via the graphical interface. This system provides an Verifying IDs more efficiently and making lines at security check points more quicker because information RFID tags can be picked up from many feets away.
