Radio frequency identification (RFID) is investigated as a technology that may be useful for smart cars and autonomous vehicles to read information about local road conditions and geographic location. Passive UHF RFID tags can transmit this data wirelessly to an RFID reader mounted on the vehicle. Coupling between a tag that is on or embedded in pavement, and the reader antenna mounted on the vehicles, is investigated by simulating the tag antenna, reader antenna and local environment in FEKO™. Preliminary simulation results show that it is feasible to implement such a system such that a vehicle traveling up to 200 km/hr. can read the tags as it passes over them.
