RFID for highways ?

The Works Ministry is studying the possibility of carrying out the radio frequency identification (RFID) system in all highways.

This is to ensure an uninterrupted traffic flow at toll plazas,  which are always choked with long queues of vehicles, especially during  peak hours and public holidays.

 Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusof said Plus Malaysia Bhd  (PLUS) was conducting a study on the system as well as  getting feedback from several parties, including the public.

 “The use of RFID is still at the proposal stage. I understand  that the system is cheaper than the current SmartTAG. There  is a low usage of SmartTAG probably because it is ex pensive.

 “By using the RFID, road users will drive through the toll  gates which are installed with sensor to deduct toll charges.

However, the matter is still under study, including its legal  aspect,” he told reporters after launching the PSKLM In ternational Expressway Conference and Exhibition 2013,  here, yesterday.

  Meanwhile, Fadillah said the ministry would take the  necessary actions to address the problem at motorcycle lanes  at the federal highway in the Klang Valley.
  He said actions were aimed at enhancing its security level,  like increasing number of lamp posts along the lanes and  repairing several stretches which are inundated with water  during heavy rains.

MESCORP will be collaborating and supported by Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for the Conference to further enhance the success and knowledge sharing of NFC, RFID, WSN and LTE for the future generations among the universities and the industries in Malaysia. MCMC, Telekom Malaysia and several other industries and universities has come forward to support the event by bring together one of the largest Internet of Things (IoT) gathering that would showcase new technologies and to share user experience on how IoT can help them in their day to day and in the business world.

Car e-Plates

RFID e-Plates by mid 2014

• Written by Shahrim Tamrin, Published on December 26, 2013 5:44 pm,

The Royal Malaysian Police wants the reintroduction of e-plates as a smart registration number plate system to be implemented by the middle of next year.
A senior officer with the Bukit Aman traffic department told Cars, Bikes & Trucks (CBT) that police was finalizing the possibility of using the radio frequency identification tags (RFID) as e-plate with Road Transport Department (RTD).
“We are serious with the regulation of the e-plate for all vehicles in the country. We are working closely with the RTD and the Transport Ministry to make it happen by middle of 2014,” said a Federal police officer who was responsible for looking into the legal aspects of the e-plate introduction.
It is learned that a meeting involving high ranking Bukit Aman officials was held last week on Wednesday discussing in-depth of the mechanism to install the RFID for all vehicles including motorcycles, in stages.
The source said that the police were not keen on the idea of 5,000 accessory shops appointed to be part of the nationwide group responsible for the installation of the e-plate.
“One of the proposals is to implant the RFID into the road tax sticker. Let it be handled fully by government agency since this involves security matters,” the source added.
The RFID e-plate contains an embedded tag with a unique encrypted identification number that is transmitted by the tag for detection.
CBT understands that the size and shape of the plates remains the same, as RFID tags are permanently fitted to the vehicle, normally at the windscreen.
It is designed to shatter should anyone attempt to tamper with the tag and it can be programmed to transmit a warning to RTD and police if any attempt is made to remove the sticker.
