Public and special transport in Moscow will be equipped with RFID-tags

“To link navigation system in the bus and the supervisory system of road transport and traffic lights cycles” – this idea was offered by Vladimir Vlasov, head of the Department of transport telematics in the Moscow Automobile and Road Construction University MADI. "RFID tags alone are not enough" - he said.
DTRIF is already making plans for the future - the future RFID-system will be expanded to control individual parking areas, closed parking and individual parking spaces.
Use of RFID for traffic management is planned not only in Moscow, but also all over Russia. At the end of March 2013 the draft of national standard for complex photo and video fixation was submitted for public discussion. With this new State Standard equipment includes RFID-reader traffic cameras so that they can recognize the dirty rooms. However, for this system to work, RFID-tags have to be equipped with registration plates of all cars in Moscow.
In 2013, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev instructed interested departments to develop the technology for the implementation of RFID chips to car numbers, as it was done, for example, in Azerbaijan. In late 2013 Ministry of Internal Affairs also proposed to equip cars with radio chips, which can recognize the car and its owner from a distance, if it is impossible to read the number. The corresponding proposal has already been sent to the government.
