Smart card project

Smart Card Project for Parking, fuel and other services related to one vehicle

Introduction:
This project looks into possibility of creating centralised IT system for parking places across UK. The purpose is to create unified card system by which users can pay for the parking slot they are using. Also this card expands beyond council owned parking slots. This project will enable usage of private car parks across country. This card is inspired by smart card implementations across the world. These smart cards are made up of RFID tag and can store data inside it. This card is also intended to use for multiple services related to the vehicle for example automated petrol station payment.
