This paper presents the design and analysis of an automated traffic signage inventory management system employing the radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. Traffic signage inventory management faces the operational challenge of recognizing a large number of traffic signs spread in a large area without obvious identifications on them. Thanks to the remote sensing ability of RFID, the operational efficiency can be significantly improved by scanning traffic signs remotely in motion. The system consists of an in-vehicle RFID reader and a handheld RFID reader, both of which connect to mobile applications with user-friendly interfaces. Additionally, user-friendly control software and a database are developed. In this paper, the adequacy of the RFID technology for the task is assessed. On the theoretical side, this paper investigates the radio-wave propagation model and the antenna radiation range. Additionally, the influences of the vehicle speed and the sign-to-reader distance on the reading performance are studied and empirical tests of the tag positioning are conducted. Finally, a system protocol is validated by a field test.
