From September and following a successful pilot, Vienna’s parking permit will be replaced by 8389 Schreiner PrinTrust’s RFID electronic parking permit.

Developed by Schreiner PrinTrust in collaboration with city officials, the new RFID parking permit for on-street parking, the new tag is attached to the vehicle’s windscreen. It has an embedded driver identification number and can be valid for multiple permits and used in different districts of the city.

Parking inspectors check the permits using handheld RFID readers from a distance of a few metres. The number is then automatically matched with a database in which only the vehicle licence number, type of vehicle, scope of application and period of validity are stored.

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a

    Inspired by the aviation industry, a new vehicle developed by Highways England to help replace overhead signs is set to reduce the duration of roadworks. The vehicle is based on the design of an aircraft catering vehicle, which loads refreshments into aeroplanes using a hydraulic scissor lift. Traditionally, signs are taken down and installed using a flat-bed truck, crane and cherry picker, taking up to 40 minutes. However the new Maintenance Assistance Vehicle (MAV) can do this in around 20 to 25 min

    David Crawford reviews developments in temporary ITS. Widespread take-up of technologies such as Bluetooth and wi-fi are encouraging the emergence of more sophisticated, while still cost effective, ITS responses to the traffic issues posed by temporary road situations such as work zones and special events. Andy Graham of traffic solutions specialists White Willow Consulting says: “A machine-to-machine radio link is far easier and cheaper than reading characters on a plate.” There can be other plusses.

    The Jakarta administration is set to kick off a second trial run of the electronic road pricing scheme aimed at helping ease traffic congestion, with the aim of having the system up and running by January 2016. Norway-based Q-Free has set up a gantry with cameras and sensors for the trial run in South Jakarta. The system works by detecting cars passing beneath it, and then remotely deducting a toll from a stored-value card in an on-board unit (OBU) inside the vehicle. OBUs have been installed in 100 car
