New RFID system to monitor traffic, track down criminals

A new vehicle security tracking system suitable for all types of vehicles, using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), will be implemented in Malaysia by the Road Transport Department (RTD) by 2018. It will allow real-time monitoring of traffic conditions and help police track down criminals. Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Aziz Kaprawi (pix) told theSun that the use of RFID technology will herald a new era for vehicle security in Malaysia and could be the answer to combat vehicle theft and cloned vehicle syndicates.
