Electronic Penalty an Initiative for E-Governance using RFID and Camera-based Hybrid Approach

With the development of information communication technology (ICT) and computer science, an effective eGovernance should provide an efficient solution for most of the problems in many government and public sectors in India. Transportation sector is not the exception for the eGovernance. Many Government Plan have been executed and running successfully like VAHAN and SARATHI related to transportation. This paper proposed an approach to penalize the offenders, who violate the traffic rules on road, by using RFID and Camera based Technique which are installed at road side. In this approach the main key area is to recognize the Registration Plate Number and extract the vehicle’s owner data and penalize owner through ECS using e-Commerce automatically. So the main targetable area in this vehicle Identification system is Registration plate recognition. For this purpose RFID, cameras system and a software flow with wired and wireless e-centre architecture could resolve the problem with the help of Registration Plate recognition system. In addition, human resource is not possible to checkout every vehicle, so offenders can easily violate the traffic rules which may cause the casualty of the people. Therefore, a Vehicle Identification system using RFID and Camera scheme is necessary to identify such traffic rule violators and penalized them automatically. General Terms E-Governance
