RFID VEHICLE ACCESS CONTROL

There are a number of factors that you must consider when choosing an RFID vehicle access control system for your application.

RFID Parking Applications

Most RFID parking management applications use a UHF system with a reader set at the entrance to the lot and a windshield tag on the vehicle window that triggers a gate or door when it comes into range of the reader. A time stamp can also be collected at the time of entry and exit for paid parking applications. UHF windshield tags can be printed with your custom graphics and be offered as a stick on tag for inside the windshield or as a hang tag from the rear-view mirror.

Hotels and resorts tend to use the RFID room card for access to the parking lot. These are normally a 13.56 MHz Mifare 1 card that is used by the guest across the property.

Our Mifare 1 cards and UHF windshield tags are passive and so they do not need a battery. Mifare 1 access cards are often the room key card, something suited to hotel and respite type applications. A UHF system is best suited to applications where the vehicle enters and exits a parking area regularly and can line itself up easily with a UHF reader at a distance in order to trigger a gate or door. The cost of a UHF tag is circa USD 1-2.00/pc depending on what you need so that is also a considering when choosing a UHF tag for vehicle access control applications.
