e-Plates
e-Plate is a microchipped number plate transmitting the vehicle's unique identifier. A small detector "reads" the encrypted data, and the detector's output can then be used locally or communicated to a distant host. A single reader can identify dozens of vehicles fitted with an e-Plate moving at any speed at a distance of up to 100 metres.
e-Plate looks like a standard plate, but is tamper-proof and has an embedded microchip which cannot be seen or removed. It is self powered with a battery life of up to 10 years. The reader with its antenna can be permanently mounted by the roadside or take the form of a Compact Flash card in a PC or handheld device.
e-Plate offers an array of benefits to government and commercial operators, including:
- access control
- automated tolling
- asset tracking
- traffic flow monitoring
- vehicle crime and non compliance
e-Plate is a secure system with the following features:
- optional 128 bit encryption
- incremental output shift to stop replay attacks
- in-built anti collision software
