Vehicle-mounted outdoor signboard management system combinging MMS and RFID technologies

In this paper, the vehicle-mounted outdoor signboard management system (VOSMS) was designed and developed based on MMS and RFID technologies. In VOSMS, each outdoor signboard can be automatically identified in real-time though reading the active RFID tags attached to it. Wuhan LD2000-R MMS was adopted to acquire on-site image and video information of outdoor signboards . By VOSMS, legal or illegal outdoor signboards along streets can be automatically found out and located, and visual information can be viewed at the same time. Furthermore, the size of outdoor signboards can be measured on the images directly, and the density of outdoor signboards can also be calculated, and so on. VOSMS is a C/S software architecture system, the programming language is C# and SQL Server is the database server. To show how VOSMS can be effectively used to manage outdoor signboards, the system has been deployed in Beijing Garden Bureau of Xicheng District for their actual business.
