177 TagMaster has announced the installation of automatic vehicle identification for access control in Conakry Harbour, West Africa. The installation is being handled by TagMaster’s systems integrator, ETL Security of Conakry West Africa.

The installation, which is being handled by ETL Security, TagMaster’s local systems integrator, is part of a rebuilding and modernisation project to improve the capacity, efficiency and security of the most important harbour in Guinea. In the first phase, the installation will be used for the access control of trucks and vehicles driving in and out of the harbour. The TagMaster RFID readers will be integrated with the port management system and control the barriers at the six lanes used for traffic, as well as control the access of approximately 500 pedestrians entering the harbour every day. The project has received international funding and is considered to be an important investment in infrastructure for the region.

To further enhance security achieved by the access control system, the project will use the MarkTag MaX ID tag from TagMaster. This is an ID tag which is permanently attached to the vehicle windscreen and which shows when the ID tag has been tampered with. The combination of using TagMaster’s LR series readers and MarkTag MaX ID Tags results in a long-read range – a key requirement for this application. The user-friendly setup and integration of the LR series readers with the other systems used in the access control solution was another important factor when selecting TagMaster’s products for this installation.

    Tolling systems - interoperability is key
    Is US tolling as fragmented and divided as some would have you believe? And are the technology suppliers so very entrenched? ITS International spoke to the market's leading suppliers. A few years back, the prevalent view was that the North American tolling market was characterised by fragmented, proprietary solutions, each existing in splendid isolation. The reality is that a combination of pragmatism and good old market forces have seen some concerted moves made towards interoperability in many areas.
