The MotorTag Electronic Permit System
MotorTag is a unique in-vehicle electronic tag that can be used for vehicle identity, security, access management and parking applications. For example to allow entry into secure sites, to capture vehicle specific information, to manage parking areas, for on street permit parking and to instantly verify vehicle and driver details. The tag is attached to the inside of the vehicle windscreen and unlike paper based permits MotorTag cannot be copied and so provides greater security.

MotorTag is superior to other technologies in this space, as it does not require contact between tag and reader and it operates in the optimum distance of between one and ten metres to the reader. The system can be configured with both handheld and static readers, while it is designed to provide very accurate singularity of read – in other words, a specific vehicle can be uniquely identified amongst numerous other vehicles in the immediate vicinity. |
System Overview
MotorTag provides a secure electronic parking management system, consisting of the following elements:
- A more convenient and secure electronic parking permit will replace any current paper permits, which is still easily attached to the inside of the vehicle windscreen.
- Security staff or parking attendants carrying handheld readers will wirelessly interrogate the target vehicle tag, which will provide a unique permit number.
- The permit number is relayed to a central database via the mobile phone GPRS data network if the parking area is remote or by WIFI wireless network if the parking is on-site.
- The specific permit, vehicle and driver data is located within the database and the relevant information is sent back to the handheld device within seconds.
- Permit, vehicle and driver information are displayed on the screen of the handheld reader, enabling the security or parking staff to instantly verify the permit, vehicle or driver.
