Products that combine best of breed performance, rich functionality and high reliability, with a low total cost of ownership.

Automatic vehicle identification (AVI)

In this area vehicles are identified in parking situations, Traffic control systems or in different types of Fleet management solutions. The reader is typically installed near a gate, barrier or bollard, identifying vehicles using ID-tags mounted inside or outside the vehicle.

In parking installations the identity of the ID-tag is used to ensure the right to access the parking area. The read range is normally limited to three to six meters and the passage speed is limited. Different types of communication interfaces are being supported, depending on integration with other systems. Installations are made indoors or outdoors and in all climatic conditions.

Vehicles accessing a restricted area, such as a harbour or an industrial plant for security or safety reasons require a longer read range due to the size of the gate that controls the access. A sturdy product design may be needed in an industrial environment. Environmental and safety related certificates can be important.

In Road Tolls and City Congestion installations, a read range of more than 10 meters can be required and a passage speed of up to 250 km/h. The reader communicates with a management system that uses the ID-tag number and initiates possible revenue related activities. The highest level of read reliability using error detection coding is typically required.
