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.”

    An impending move to free-flow charging prompted a search for automated dangerous goods identification and over-height detection systems at the Thames Crossing to the east of London. Manned toll booths are increasingly being consigned to history by the onslaught of all-electronic charging. However, a secondary function of the traditional manned plazas has been to prevent non-compliant vehicles using the facility or to tell a driver that that they need to use a specific lane or wait for an escort.

    Technology advances improve enforcement
    Across the board, technology is being brought to bear to improve the efficiency of enforcement. Bus lane monitoring, parking and controlled access have all benefited from systems introduced in recent months. While speed and red light infringements tend to attract the most attention, there remain several other areas of enforcement where automation can bring significant operational and efficiency benefits. Lane monitoring and access control also continue to benefit from technological development.
