Traffic sign recognition using wireless communication

Since the convention on road signs and signals from 1968, standard traffic signs, impose the rules on the road. Some system that are capable of recognizing these signs are known as traffic sign recognition (TSR) systems. This system is part of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which has the goal to improve road safety. In this paper we present an experimental system that uses a wireless communication in order to recognize traffic signs, placed along the road. Using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, the system manages to recognize the signs and, through a Human Machine Interface (HMI), it warns the driver about the presence of the traffic sign.
