Long-range RFID

APT Skidata has further enhanced its portfolio of parking technologies with the introduction of a new longrange Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag and reader solution to complement its existing Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) capabilities. The company says a low-cost long-range RFID technology is ideal in certain scenarios where the full cost of an ANPR solution cannot be justified.

1774 APT Skidata has further enhanced its portfolio of parking technologies with the introduction of a new long-range Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag and

reader solution to complement its existing Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) capabilities. The company says a low-cost long-range RFID technology is

ideal in certain scenarios where the full cost of an ANPR solution cannot be justified.

As a car approaches a barrier, the windscreen-mounted RFID tag is read by the reader from a range of up to 10m, allowing the barrier to open in good time.

The tag can be configured to allow the user access only on particular times or days of the week, and can be integrated with the latest e-ticketing solutions.

With applications such as ANPR, the read-rate may vary between daylight and night and can be adversely affected by glare and low sun. Madrid, Spain-based Lector Vision had these considerations in mind when designing its Traffic Eye ANPR system, which combines off-the-shelf and custom hardware
