  1. RFID Vehicle Tracking Jason Alcock (Team Leader) Harold Allen Pat Woowong Emmanuel Deheer Farzaneh Shahheidari Project Advisors: Jay Schlag Linda Milor Final Project Presentation: November 29th, 2007

  2. Project Overview • Prototype construction entering final stages • Currently working on integrating individual pieces in to overall design • Project deadline will be met!

  3. GPS Serial Level Converter Source: Nutchip Programming • Converts TTL level serial from GPS unit to RS-232 level • Uses MAX232 IC

  4. Voltage Regulator • Robotics Connection 5V Switching Voltage Regulator Source: Robotics Connection Source: Werker electronics Source: jakwir.net

  5. Constructed Prototype eBox Processor LCD Display RFID Receiver GPS Unit

  6. Design Goals Size of base unit: light enough for easy mobility (portable) Range of signal transmission from RFID (20ft radius) Accuracy of data display on LCD panel for results should be high Base unit should be low power-consuming device (5v switching voltage regulator) Overall well-functioning base unit

  7. Prototype Usage

  8. Example Display

  9. Marketing and Cost Analysis Original Estimated Cost and Selling Price Final Cost and Selling Price

  10. Marketing and Sales Strategies Advertise the product through mass media Offer discounts to customers for referral Demonstrate to target customers: Universities Car dealerships Hospitals Military bases

  11. Summary Problems: • Voltage regulator solution • GPS serial connection harness Future Schedule: • GPS coding to be completed • Final demonstration and prototype completion

  12. Mario Cardullo’s U.S. Patent 3,713,148 in 1973 is the ancestor to modern RFID to be used in vehicle identification. 34 years later Georgia Tech still uses eyesight and barcode scanning software for vehicle tracking.
