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.

By 2017, the European Electronic Tolling Service (EETS) should have been in operation for several years but it still remains some way away and with several significant hurdles still to be addressed.
