Introduction
As day by day both private and commercial vehicles growing in numbers at a rapid pace, vehicle identification has become an increasingly complex task. This is especially true in situations which require identifying and recording vehicle movements in and out of premises. Typically, such tasks have been largely managed through human intervention.
The Vehicle Identification Solution from DAPHNE delivers a much higher level of automation and efficiency to such situations by using RFID based vehicle identification technologies which eliminate the need for human intervention to a large extent.
With RFID tags placed on the vehicles, this solution is robust, faster and much accurate than the traditional methodologies.
VehicleTrack (RFID Vehicle Tracking System)
Daphne Systems recommends a RFID based Vehicle Identification that provides a complete solution VehicleTrack. The most important challenges of parking area of organization, society or apartment have to be filled up with registered and authorised vehicle. It also has to an automated, efficient monitoring system that provides complete information (i.e entry/exit time with relevant information) of vehicle identifies and allows for accurate vehicle of organization, society or apartment for easy Entry/Exit.
VehicleTrack is designed to be modular and different modules can be used to build a system to meet your requirements, provides identification, tracking, security and automation of vehicles. Each gate has entrance and exit boom-barrier (or doors) equipped with RFID readers along with antennas. Each vehicle has a passive tag, which is applied inside the windshield. The windshield tag is a high performance tag that is ideal for plastic and glass. The RFID system can be integrated with software systems for reporting and revenue collection, which provides even greater cost cutting and time efficiency to societies/apartment, parking operators, corporate and municipal toll and parking facility.
Implementation of VehicleTrack is quick and easy and can be used in conjunction with existing systems.
We use Standards Protocols – UHF EPC Class 1 Gen 2 (Frequency 860-960 MHz) for our solution for communication between Tags and RFID Readers.
Why VehicleTrack?
When we are discussing for a solution of parking-lot management or entry/exit facility for vehicle at RWA society/apartment, in traditional/older technology manual or mechanical transactions require driver to stop, roll down their window, swipe a magnetic strip card, wave a proximity card or punch a keypad to get access of the system. Our System that is internally integrated with rfid technology, it eliminate the all tedious exiting process and using the above robust (VehicleTrack) softer automate and make it non-stop workable system that allows vehicle flow quickly through entry/exit gate and fully controlled over system.
Benefits:
VehicleTrack facilitate solution for multiple problems in traditional system through imposing fully control over the entry/exit automation, tracking of vehicle inside/outside the campus, entry/exit movement log, visitor entry pass and the main important feature of our solution that you can allow/barred your vehicle for entry/exit on real-time.
System Components
RFID Fixed Reader:
Each reader contains a radio frequency transmitter/receiver, antenna and reader logic board in a weatherproof unit. The reader collects data from the antennas, processes the data and interfaces with the VehicleTrack Software.
- Multi-tag read
- Built-in Antenna
- Up-to 10 m read range
- ISO18000-6C EPC Class 1 Gen 2
- Weather proof casing
RFID Tag:
Capable of storing and rewriting the vehicle related information. The windshield tag is optimized for attachment to vehicle’s windshield and is primarily used for identification of vehicle in parking areas of campus/society.
- 860 – 960 MHz band
- Tamper – proof
- Protocol-ISO 18000 6C EPC Class 1 Gen 2
Boom Barrier:
Automatic Barriers interface with RFID Reader and automatically open when an authorized vehicle is identified. Barriers offer and efficient security at the exit and the entry gates or any road-way entry where VehicleTrack is deployed.
- Interface : Controller interface with RFID Reader
- Operating Chanel : RFID Reader, Push Button & Remote Control
- Operating Power : 220 Volt AC power
- Control Panel : Microprocessor Based Control Panel
Accessories:
Anti Crash Sensor: These sensors are sensing objects based on infrared ray through its transmitter or receiver.
In our system we use photo sensor or anti crash sensor. Photo sensor sense the object below the boom to prevent the boom-barrier from closing if vehicle (or any object) found in sensor range (just below the
boom-barrier) while, anti crash sensor Sense the object movement to down the boom on the stand if it is opened.
Breaker: It is installed on driveway to make the vehicle speed Slow, so that identification of vehicle is made smoother.
Signal: These signals are used for signalling vehicles to prevent accident on driveway. vehicle can move ahead if it is green otherwise must stop and wait at signalling place while it is not green.
Buzzer/Alarm:
A buzzer or beeper is an audio
signaling device, which may trigger
while barred /unauthorised vehicle try to inter into the premises
Application Software
The VehicleTrack software is a backbone of whole solutions. A passive RFID based Vehicle/Visitor Tracking standalone Software that provides a complete record of movement of vehicle. We have complete software package including VehicleTrack-Monitor, VehicleTrack-Mobile & VehicleTrack-web.
VehicleTrack-Monitor is monitoring the movements (In/Out) of vehicles
from the campus and provides visual representation on GUI and tagging process of vehicles.
VehicleTrack-Mobile is android app which allows us to use this system as particular user with following features.
VehicleTrack-Web is java based web application (with Apache-server and MySql database) which allows us to use this system as particular user as well as administrative privilege
Solution Overview: The solution can be deployed in two modes, conceptualized for single passage and double passage, respectively. (Check Images)

Vehicle Identification PPT
RFID UHF Long Range Integrated Reader
It is a high performance UHF RFID integrated reader, designed upon fully self-intellectual property based on efficient digital signal processing algorithm, which supports fast tag read/write operation with high identification rate. Each reader contains a radio frequency transmitter/receiver, antenna and reader logic board in a weatherproof unit. The reader collects data from the antennas, processes the data and interfaces with the our Application Software.
RFID Windshield Tag
Capable of storing and rewriting the vehicle related information. the Windshield Tag is optimized for attachment to vehicles windshields and is primarily used for identification of vehicle in parking areas of campus/ society/ apartment. Windshield Tag is the UHF Gen2 Tamperproof ARAI approved long range passive tag. It is ideal for automatic Vehicle identification (AVI), Transportation application, and Electronic toll collection, and Electronic vehicle Registration, Parking & Security Access application.
RFID Boom Barrier
It is fast speed, reliable and most durable boom barrier that handle high traffic of volumes by interfacing RFID Reader by enabling stop-free movement and the smooth flow for all the authorized vehicles. The function of Automatic Boom Barriers interface with RFID Reader and using electro-mechanical, electro-hydraulic or electro-pneumatic drive mechanism it automatically open when an authorized vehicle is identified.
Vehicle Identification Software
VehicleTrack is designed to be modular and different modules can be used to build a system to meet your requirements; may it be security, automated tracking and identification, Rollout of VehicleTrack is quick and easy and can be used in conjunction with existing systems. The interface for parkers and administration is web based. A number of payment mechanisms including pre-paid payment can be made available or complete RFID automation of the Vehicle Identification.
