Project Context
Discuss about the RFID Based Highway Toll Tax Collection Dystem Design.
The electronic toll tax gathering framework in interstate in light of RFID, an outline plan was advanced. It has attributes of ease, high security, far correspondence separation and high productivity, and others (Jagtap et al., 2015). It can enhance innovation level of charge, as well as enhance section capacity of road. Electronic toll gathering framework is a viable measure to lessen administration expenses and charges, in the meantime, extraordinarily diminish commotion and toll plaza nearby pollution situation. In this project, the suitable options for an electrical engineer are included showing how future profession can be obtained. The linking of future profession is performed in the later sections showing how RFID knowledge can be of greater experiences and advantage.
An RFID engineer generally is capable of handling development and implementation work for tracking goods, material, inventory, and other collective information with using wireless tags. The project context is quite dependent over the RFID engineering domain, such as most of the industries are facing the issue of tracking and tracing objects. Most of the organizations are facing due challenges to eradicate transportation and tracking objects. The RFID engineers have diverse opportunities in gaining retail and health care pharmaceutical with demanding situations. The RFID engineers are hired with growing much business with sufficient talent composition. Therefore, the RFID technology implementation is identified as crucial requirement for any origination, hence, the professional experience in electrical engineering and RFID engineering is essential for my profession. Moreover, the future applications of RFID and tracking can be important with limitless opportunities in RFID technology as the organizations hire professionals based on project experience. I have identified that to tackle such problem in the industry; there is a surging demand of RFID engineers.
The RFID engineers are often recruited as lead operation managers in some organizations. Therefore, from RFID engineer my future profession would be operations manager. Operational management recruitment is often initiated with management trainee positions or management internships. I require gaining some experience first from such junior position of management to pursue bigger role in suitable corporation. There are some suitable roles in marketing, HR management and other senior management position. However, as per my competencies and knowledge, I should utilize my skills and expertise for operational management position so that I can gain greater part of engineering knowledge and application. In most of the opportunities, the skills are required to be having major from technical institution. The industry experience in RFID is about project completion and suitable supply chain management competency.
Justification why it is Relevant
In my future profession, being a professional manager, I required to pay conscious effort and constant support to my learning and abilities. In other words, I required pursuing long-integrated work approach with managing work-related issues. To me, ‘being a professional’ means being cultivated, courteous, and diligent person with handling individual purposes. I require a professional attitude to work, workplace, and co-workers as well. In this perspective, ethical and moral fulfillment of personal continuous development is much important. Moreover, in workplace professional manager should set aside personal likes, dislikes, and insecurities to achieve individual employee contributions. Being professional manager, I should advance my career with encasing my skills, expertise, and competencies in such a way so that I can achieve my success.
In order to become an experienced and professional manager, I need to focus on some key aspects and development constraints. I had listed the constraints as education, skills, training, personality, lifestyle, employment, unions, groups, and associations. Education and skill brush-up is essential for being a knowledgably strong manager. I require applying my knowledge in every critical situation of work and employee motivation. Training is necessary for growing junior manager to senior manager getting appropriate guidance on how to handle policies, strategies, initiatives, and organizational requirements. Personality and lifestyle improvement can be of greater benefit impounding mental growth. Participating in Unions, groups, and associations is important for being center of attention for every employee; so that they feel easy to interact with manager in every situation.
The project background is presented as RFID being fastest growing technology for helping people and other inhabitants for making work in suitable manner (Shureshi & Khezri, 2016; Jaisingh, El-Khatib & Akalu, 2016). The RFID based toll tax collection system generally a payment system for helping in reduction of heavy congestion in highway toll plaza. Moreover, the RFID based tracking system is highly recommended for organize heavy traffic in highways (Suryatali & Dharmadhikari, 2015). The primary purpose of RFID system based toll tax collection system is to track the readers for using automatic payment system. The process of tracking system is dependent over distant deciphering of RFID reader. Rather than people paying by stopping the car near toll plaza, the RFID tags do the payment automatically (Al-Ghawi et al., 2016). Mostly, the RFID tag is used for generally stop the trespassing in the toll queue.
I have faced some managerial and sustainability difficulties and challenges in the project completion as in I was assigned for operations manager in RFID project. I had to understand the entire project aims, objectives, working activities and complete it within limited schedule. Hence, I felt haphazard with managing all team members and entire project completion within tight deadline. Furthermore, I was short on project budget; hence, I had to identify the particular parts where cost and expenditure is necessary. I had to exclude some parts of the project in order to complete the project within allocated budget as well.
Objectives of the Project
To solve the situations of timeline and cost, I managed the entire project with project management process. I allocated the entire activities under my part as in assigning them with optimal resources allotment and effective resource utilization. I allocated somewhat extra and necessary budget whenever needed to encompass with the problems in terms of low cost device purchasing.
The primary objectives of the project are the following:
To design RFID based tracking system for automatic toll tax payment
To detect vehicle theft from toll plaza
To avoid signal breaking from crossing and traffic
To track vehicles from high speed running
In some prior studies, Priyanka et al. (2016) cited that comparing with the organizational business practices is most important for any organization for dealing with the inventory management. Moreover, the business process effectiveness management can be challenging to any operational manager with catalogue maintenance over in any organization (Jagtap et al., 2015). In some cases, the organization should have to employ much cost and expenses to deal with increasing manpower in tracking inventories. On the other hand, seeking a solution to the problem; Cai, Li and Cai, (2015) opined that operations managers face some other challenges over long-term customer and employee strategies for any organization in managing the inventories. Environmentally ‘green’ strategies are much efficient manner to minimize this problem with tracing objects, materials, and products within shorter interval for any instance of working (Liu et al., 2015). Therefore, the issue can be resolved with implementing social responsibility for automatic toll collection in highways. Moreover, corporate reporting is becoming a broader aspect with showing several applications.
Some basic issues with RFID are reader impact and label crash. Reader crash happens when the signs from at least two readers cover. The tag cannot react to concurrent questions. Frameworks must be deliberately set up to dodge this issue (Bali et al., 2015). Label impact happens when many labels are available in a little range; however since the read time is quick, it is less demanding for merchants to create frameworks that guarantee that labels react each one in turn.
RFID based toll gathering framework is utilized as an innovation for quick and productive accumulation of toll at the toll squares. This is conceivable as the vehicles going through the toll square don’t stop to pay toll and the installment consequently happens from the record of the driver (Suryatali & Dharmadhikari, 2015). The electronic toll paths are set up with the extraordinary receiving wires that consistently convey signals. These signs are utilized to consequently recognize the vehicles that go by them. To utilize the electronic toll office, the driver needs to set up a record and get an electronic transponder settled in the vehicle. These transponders normally known as the labels are typically fitted on the windshields of the vehicles. The tag has all the data with respect to the supporter’s record (Bhosale et al., 2016). The receiving wire constantly conveys a radiofrequency (microwave) beat, which returns just when it hits a transponder.
Critical Literature Review on this Issue/Problem
Conclusion
The benefits are included as following as this project incorporates the idea that frequency shortage is unused in terms of 70% with expensive bandwidth. Moreover, the RF frequency system provides license to the internet, satellite and mobile services. Cognitive radio makes the entire frequency spectrum with efficient usage to the lacking of spectrum and interference of different networks. The cognitive radio is main device for sniffing the spectrum with allocating them to empty bands for the licensed users. The project presents an overall survey to the different types of spectrum and sensing of cognitive radio for separate scenarios and situations with characteristics. The researchers have still a scope to work over the technology to invent another sophisticated technique for effective RF system. This particular thesis work emphasizes over the theoretical and practical aspects of multiple SNR values with simulation. The simulation is essential for detecting the probabilities for primary user signaling. The simulation results are presented from MATLAB script programming.
