Abstract: This research paper is concerned with using information technology in automation of traffic fine issue and management, which is one of the topics in e-Government. RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tag is an electronic label, known as an advanced form of bar codes. This research work suggests a method in using this technology in issuance and management of traffic fine. Each vehicle would carry an RFID tag on it, when a violation of the law happens, specification of the vehicle would be read from its RFID tag. This data would be transferred into a local station and from there it would be transmitted to a central data centre. The amount of fine can be calculated depends on by considering the violation history of the vehicle and some other parameters, available in the database of the central station. In this research we survey storage and transmission of related data, processing, as well as performing some kind of data mining in the accumulated data. The advantages of our suggested system are: improved performance, higher level of accuracy, possibility of taking variable parameters into account when calculating the amount of fine (like history of violence). It also allows performing some data mining, in order to discover special reasons for violations, which can be considered in future modifications.

Keywords: Electronic fine, Information Technology, Automation, RFID.
