Star Systems launch headlamp toll decal

The new headlamp RFID decal from Hong Kong-based RFID provider Star Systems International has been designed for those situations where a tag cannot be used due to a windshield’s metallic content or aesthetic reasons. In the case of motorcycles or scooters, which might not have a windshield, the decal provides a solution that can be read consistently on vehicles driving at high speeds and in harsh environments.

Star systems headlamp decal
The new headlamp RFID decal from Hong Kong-based RFID provider 7422 Star Systems International has been designed for those situations where a tag cannot be used due to a windshield’s metallic content or aesthetic reasons.  In the case of motorcycles or scooters, which might not have a windshield, the decal provides a solution that can be read consistently on vehicles driving at high speeds and in harsh environments.

The Star Aries headlamp decal is tuned to work while affixed to a vehicle’s headlamp. It delivers superior read and write performance along with high levels of security and tamper resistance and is suitable for automatic vehicle identification (AVI) applications such as E-tolling, electronic vehicle registration, parking, secure access, vehicle tracking and fleet management.

The Aries headlamp decal uses an IC chip with a flexible memory architecture that provides for the optimum allocation of EPC and user memory. User memory may also be secured by the chip’s read-lock and/or write-lock features on 64-bit blocks, allowing the decal to support a variety of public/private usage models.

The IC chip also features a factory programmed and permanently locked 64-bit serial number that cannot be altered. Simple to install, small in size and clear in colour, the decal is barely noticeable when applied to the vehicle headlamp and is constructed to withstand years of extreme weather and harsh driving environments, while providing reliable read performance.

    Additional functionality gives loops a continued lease of life
    Two decades after the death of the inductive loops was predicted, Matt Zinn, technical services manager at Eberle Design says the technology still offers advantages. More than 20 years ago the emergence of video detection systems led many to foretell the end of inductive loops. In the intervening years advocates of radar, infrared and wireless detection technologies have also claimed that loops were on their way out. But in fact, by all calculations, the use of loops has actually increased and although

    Adopting universal technology platforms for tolling
    Dave Marples of Technolution argues that the continuing development of tolling-specific onboard equipment is leading us up a blind alley. We should, he says, be looking to realise universal platforms with universal application. The near-future automobile contains information systems of a sophistication to rival a jet airliner of only a few years ago, yet is 'piloted' by a considerably less well-trained individual of highly variable mental and physical capacity, and operated in a hostile, unpredictable and p

    Varying acceptance of tolling in Africa
    Tolling technology is now at an advanced state but governments have a key role in ensuring the success of schemes as is evident in Africa. Shem Oirere reports. According to the African Development Bank, the continent has an estimated $46bn of infrastructure financing deficit. The bank says sub-Saharan Africa requires $93bn annually to meet its infrastructure development needs - but only half of the financing is available.
