177 TagMaster, the specialist producer of advanced RFID solutions for automatic vehicle identification (AVI) has announced that 120 Siemens Mobility will use its long-range RFID readers and ID-tags as part of a solution for traffic management and Selective Vehicle Detection (SVD). This solution will be presented at the 136 Traffex trade show which opens today at the 1068 NEC, Birmingham, in the UK.

Large vehicle fleets can be equipped with TagMaster RFID products as part of the Siemens SVD solution to give the fleet owner reliable, accurate and up to date information regarding the location of all vehicles within the fleet. This new solution can also be used in multi lane free flow situations, where the removal of the need to stop at barriers is essential to enable smooth traffic flows.

“After extensive testing we have decided to use TagMaster readers and ID-tags as part of our Selective Vehicle Detection solution,” says Matthew Vincent, deputy sales and marketing director at Siemens Mobility. ”The use of long range RFID products from TagMaster will provide with a new level of flexibility in installation and integration with a minimum impact to the surrounding streetscape.”
