Dutch vehicle identification and detection specialist 3838 Nedap is taking advantage of IFSEC 2015 to launch its Transit Ultimate microwave RFID long-range reader, developed for vehicular access control in high-security applications and under heavy environmental conditions.

Apart from an improved industrial antenna and housing design, the new reader contains a second communication channel at 433 MHz that enables a wider bandwidth for communication between readers and tags. Tag authentication using AES encryption is incorporated to help prevent cloning of tags and replay-attacks.

Transit identifies vehicles and drivers at a distance of up to 10 metres (33 ft) and a travelling speed of up to 200 km/h (125 mph) by using semi-active (2.45 GHz) RFID technology.

Transit Ultimate offers many new and improved features including: advanced antenna design; semi-active RFID technology based on two frequencies (2,45 GHz and 433 MHz); integrated squelch upgrade board for read range adjustment; configurable three-colour LED indication; USB Interface for communication with reader; tamper switch detects changes by unauthorised users; and bonnet support strut for easy installation.

More information is available in the Transit Ultimate product video.

    Adaptive cruise control can mitigate phantom traffic jams, says Ford
    Phantom traffic jams can be minimised through adaptive cruise control (ACC) technology, says Ford. These traffic jams occur when one driver hits the brakes and causes a chain reaction of other drivers tapping their brakes which causes traffic flow to halt. Ford conducted a test alongside Vanderbilt University researchers on a closed test track involving 36 vehicles across three lanes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GYfXxVn2Oc The motor company says the main causes of phantom jams are human fa
