It is a two-pronged message from 177 TagMaster with a new ANPR and RFID products.

 
The new CitySync50 ANPR system is a twin-camera configuration with integrated ANPR processing that can be pre-programed with white, black and grey (time related) lists to facilitate or block vehicular access (with email alerts sent where required).

There are multiple illumination options (850NM, 760Nm and white light) and the camera unit can be directly connected to variable message signs or other smart systems.

A 32GB solid-state hard drive gives scope for additional processing or data storage and while the system can measure speeds up to 80km/h, it is not currently type-approved for enforcement purposes. A new set-up wizard simplifies initial installation and the unit is accessible from any web browser.

On the RFID side, TagMaster is showing its new XT series of long-range readers which can work at a distance of between 4m and 16m. These UHF units are available to suit European or American operating frequencies and work with passive tags that do not require a battery.

The units can read RFID tags in vehicles travelling at up to 200km/h, making them suitable for detecting police, ambulance and other first response vehicles as part of an emergency vehicle prioritisation system.

    Automatic number plate recognition continues to find new applications beyond the traditional. In coming years, we can expect the application set to grow significantly Moore's Law has seen to it that computer processing power has improved out of all comparison in the 30-plus years since the first working Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system was created by the UK's Police Scientific Development Branch. The attendant increases in systems' capabilities have resulted in ANPR being deployed globally

    Colin Sowman talks to Terry Bergan of International Road Dynamics about the latest uses of weigh-in-motion systems. Raising allowable truck weight limits improve transport efficiency but leaves an ever-increasing number of bridges vulnerable to being overloaded and damaged by vehicles heavier, and in some cases far heavier, than they were designed to carry. The simplistic solution is to impose weight restrictions and erect appropriate signs - but this could have severe knock-on effect on trucking operations

    TagMaster, together with its Chinese distributor Richor and FTRD, a technology supplier to the rail industry in China, have signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) which covers the joint development of an RFID system for use on mainline railways in China. The RFID system will form part of a new onboard warning system which will be used to improve train safety when passing temporary speed limits and work sections along the line.

    Hard shoulder running has become the UK’s default response to increasing motorway capacity as Colin Sowman reports. Facing a predicted 46% increase in traffic levels by 2040 and the current economic recovery leading to more people travelling to, from and for work leaves the UK government under short- and long-term pressure to increase the capacity on the main motorway network. Particular sections of motorways are already experiencing repeated, sometimes tidal, congestion and both tight Treasury limits and t
