Dutch RFID and IoT provider 6370 Smartrac has launched its latest RFID inlay for public transport applications, the dual frequency pre-laminated inlay. The new product combines a pre-laminated inlay with two secure contactless chips, one working in high frequency and the other in ultra-high frequency (UHF), into a single card.

The card allows transport operators to select the type of revenue collection method appropriate to the point of entry, including hands-free or be-in-be-out fare collection in very large traffic channels or for physically challenged commuters. In standard entry or exit, check-in-check-out fare collection reader terminals can be deployed.

Available in PVC, PC, PET-G or Teslin, Smartrac offers the inlay with several combinations of secure and popular contactless chips. With the high frequency chip there choose between NXP MIFARE DESFire EV2, Sony FeliCa RC-SA01 4KB or the Infineon myD4Move while the UHF chip offerings include NXP UCODE DNA or Impinj Monza.

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
