751 Mikoh Corporation has been awarded an exclusive five-year partnership contract, with a five-year option, to implement a national EVR (Electronic Vehicle Registration) system in Thailand, the second-largest ASEAN economy. The company will be the exclusive EVR technology supplier of destruct-on-removal Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Smart&Secure EVR tags, RFID decals and RFID readers.

Mikoh CEO Dr Paul Scully-Power said the voluntary transition to the EVR system in Thailand will commence in the second half of this year 2010 and that it is expected to become mandatory in the future. The company has partnered with two regionally based Thai companies for this project. Konlakorn is the lead partner and holder of the Government 10-year contract, and is responsible for financial backing, government liaison, and administration of the EVR infrastructure. 1887 Somapa Information Technology is the system integration partner and will work closely with Mikoh to deploy a functional working EVR system in 2010 to meet the needs of Thailand’s Department of Land Transport.

Konlakorn managing director Namchoke Somapa noted that Thailand has over 34 million registered vehicles, with four million new vehicle registrations anticipated per annum. Thailand needs a solution that solves a multitude of business issues as well as national security issues.

“Mikoh’s state-of-the-art technology offers a practical end-to-end solution and we are pleased to be partnered with them in this significant project, which will add value through providing electronic tolling, vehicle access control and parking management,” says Somapa.

    Mobility pricing is the best way of sustaining and enhancing mobility, argues Moving Forward Consulting’s Josef Czako. Mobility pricing (MP) is effectively the culmination of the ‘user pays’ principle and has been referred to in many policy discussions about electronic toll collection, road user charging (RUC), and pricing. MP not only reflects the ‘use more, pay more’ nature of RUC, it also takes account of the external cost of journeys including pollution, noise, the cost of congestion and accidents.

Connectivity among vehicles in urban traffic systems will provide opportunity for beneficial impacts such as congestion reduction and greater safety. However, it also creates security risks with the potential for targeted disruption. Security algorithms, protocols and procedures must take

    Despite much research and technological promise, progress towards cooperative infrastructure system deployment is still slow. Here, Robert Cone and John Miles take a considered look at how and when it might come about. From a systems engineering viewpoint it looks logical and inevitable that vehicles should be communicating between themselves and with the road infrastructure. But seen from a business viewpoint the case is not proven.
