RFID Parking Access Control System Can Maximize Parking Utilization
Radio Frequency Identification or RFID is a wireless technology used for automatic identification of ID-tags attached to an object. The applications of RFID technology are widespread as is the technology itself. There are several frequency bands allocated to RFID operations ranging from low frequency systems (short range) to high frequency systems (long range).
Readers consist of antenna, transmitter, receiver, a computer function to process and store information, and interfaces for communication with other systems. Besides reading ID-tags, the Readers have a built-in detector that can detect the movement of a passing object. The Readers are built around a standard Linux operating system and has an open development platform.

How RFID on Vehicles Works
Transponders or tags are affixed on vehicles and/or the person driving the car.
The system authenticates the vehicle with the user from a distance of up to 5 meters and gives the appropriate signal to open the barrier.
RFID tags are affixed on the wind screen of all the vehicles.
Check in / out Antennas & Readers are placed and connected to Barriers in such a way so as detect the moving vehicle and the driver from a maximum distance of 5 meters.
VRF Central Vehicle Tracking System (Web based application) installed on the server.
Alarm to be generated in case of unauthorized entry/exit of vehicle.
Records of vehicle movement and history.
Parking Lot Vehicle Management System
Non Stop Access
To achieve a “non-stop” vehicle access at installation sites equipped with gates that open slowly, we recommend mounting the readers further away from the gate.
From a security perspective, this is a safe way of entry, as the driver does not have to stop the vehicle. From an economical point of view, a non-stop solution will decrease fuel consumption and is more environmental friendly.
