  Identification of the vehicles passing over the roads is a very important
component of traffic monitoring/surveillance. There have been many attempts to
design and develop efficient strategies to carry out the job. However, from the
point of view of practical usefulness and real-time operation, most of them do
not score well. In the current work, we perceive the problem as efficient
real-time communication and data-sharing between the units in charge of
recording the identities of the vehicles, i.e., Vehicle Recorders (VR), and the
Vehicles (VE). We propose a strategy to address the issue with the help of
Synchronous-Transmission (ST), which is a newer paradigm of communication
compared to the traditional paradigm based on Asynchronous-Transmission (AT).
First, we theoretically show that the presence of the physical layer phenomena
called Capture-Effect in ST brings a significant benefit. Next, we also
implement the strategy in a well-known IoT-Operating System Contiki, and
compare its performance with the existing best-known strategy.
