APT 2226 Skidata is offering a sophisticated long-range Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag and reader solution to complement its existing automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) capabilities.
APT Skidata, says that there is a clear need for such technologies in applications where ANPR may not be cost-effective or practical to install and manage. Without the need for the driver to wave or press a card against a reader, the long-range tag is said to be more convenient than other forms of identification/authorisation and greatly speeds traffic flow. The RFID tag is a passive device that is permanently attached to the window of the car. As the car approaches the barrier, the tag is read by the reader from a range of up to 10m, allowing the barrier to open and with an accuracy of almost 100%. The tag can be configured to allow the user access only on particular times or days of the week, and can be integrated with the latest e-ticketing solutions.

    The latest technology continues to improve the quality of concrete paving while contractors are also benefiting from more adaptable equipment - Mike Woof reports For many concrete paving applications, versatility is required rather than a high production rate. Leading paver manufacturers such as GOMACO, Power Curbers, Terex and Wirtgen all offer high mobility machines that can be adjusted to cope with an array of tasks. For a contractor, the advantage of these smaller pavers is that they can be configured q
