Why AVI Matters

Solutions Analysis of AVI vs. Proximity Cards

Benefits of TagMaster NA AVI:

•    25-35% faster compared to Proximity cards
•    50% faster compared to Magstripe cards
•    Decreased chance of equipment damage
•    Faster entry and exit times
•    Customizable tags provide added security and aesthetic
•    Reduced carbon footprint
•    Hands-free with the ability to support free-flow traffic
•    Greater customer experience

With 70% of the world population predicted to be residing in an urban area or city over the next twenty years, TagMaster NA is driving smarter cities with cutting-edge vehicle identification solutions. By reducing wait times and increasing efficiency, our automated vehicle identification (AVI) systems are tailored to maximize the potential of each unique project.

A satisfactory user experience is crucial to a successful parking solution. Granting users secure entry to the parking area without requiring them to stop, roll down a driver-side window or locate an access card can go a long way in assuring that satisfaction. With hands-free AVI solutions, drivers can get to their destinations without the frustrating experience of waiting in long vehicle queues—and faster throughput speeds reduce the risk of tailgating and vandalism.

According to Parking Structures, AVI is 25% faster than proximity cards and 50% faster than magstripe cards. This makes for a significant difference in how quickly vehicles are able to get in and out of a gated area. In addition, proximity cards can easily be dropped or misplaced, which can make parking even more inconvenient and time-consuming.

AVI ensures optimum efficiency as the driver does not interact with the entry system. TagMaster NA’s AVI not only increases lane availability and lowers carbon emissions; it also provides the most valuable component of an access control installation: peace of mind.  The secure communication between the tag and the reader cannot be cloned; copied or stolen, ensuring only those with the proper credentials can gain access.

Make vehicle access easy

  ALL RFID IS NOT THE SAME

1. Create Secure Access

 

➣ Proximity System:

Proximity cards require drivers to stop. Proximity systems often require the driver to exit the vehicle to make touch contact with the card, which can pose problems for security applications and after hours access and security.

➣ TMNA Long Range RFID System:

Long Range RFID allows for drivers to gain access without having to stop, interact with the system, open their vehicle or locate a credential- providing effortless and safe access for drivers.

2. Increase Driver Satisfaction

➣ Proximity System:

Due to short read range provided by a proximity system the amount of vehicles that can gain entry and exit is reduced, increasing wait times per vehicle and increased carbon emissions.

➣ TMNA Long Range RFID System:

Due to the long read range provided by the RFID system, more authorized vehicles gain access quickly, minimizing vehicle wait times and reducing carbon emissions.

3. Maximize Vehicle Flow

➣ Proximity System:

System relies on driver to engage with the system every time and know where their credential is and locate and present this to the reader. Tags can be easily damaged being put into a purse or other carrier.

➣ TMNA Long Range RFID System:

System requires no interaction from the driver with the system, reducing driver distraction. Risk eliminated of lost, misplaced or damaged credentials from user storage.

Alberta Health Services Deploys TagMaster North America RFID for Emergency Medical Services

A mission critical performance solution for critical service missions. TACOMA, WA | November 30, 2016 – TagMaster North America, Inc., the leading provider of long-range, high-performance Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) deployed its embedded standalone access control solution  for the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) vehicle dispatch center at Alberta Health Services  in Canada.   TagMaster RFID systems will provide the EMS stations with a comprehensive, site-wide standardized solution for their ambulance bay dispatch centers.   By simplifying ambulance access with features from TagMaster such as customized reports and ingress tracking, an increase in security and operational efficiency for these vital EMS dispatch centers became possible without having to install a scale-invariant third party access control panel.  TagMaster installed its robust LR-Series RFID Readers with embedded ACTS Essential software in conjunction with the S1255 MarkTag Classic Tags to allow for quick, hands-free vehicle access for EMS personnel and other authorized medical agency staff at Alberta Health Services. The Long-Range LR-Readers identify a vehicle's TagMaster AVI Tag at a distance of up to 18 feet as it approaches the entrance of the dispatch station, logs the authorized credential and triggers the roll up door to open for valid tags while denying access to anyone not permitted access. “The implementation of ACTS Essential software allows us to save valuable time for a wider market of users in need of an innovative and cost effective solution for mission critical operations.“ – Ali Khaksar, President and CEO of TagMaster North America, Inc.

University of Washington, Seattle Chooses T2 and TagMaster North America Combination

Permit process and parking access control better managed through integrated IP-based solutions and stand-alone systems.

TACOMA, WA | November 2, 2016 – TagMaster North America, Inc., the leading provider of long-range, high-performance Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) established its embedded standalone access control solution now integrates directly with T2 System’s permit management and enforcement and T2 Flex system. This integration enabled The University of Washington, Seattle to create a truly unified parking management platform.

T2 Systems, a parking solutions supplier, provided the University with T2 Flex, a comprehensive and campus-wide parking system that manages parking access, revenue control and permits, making parking management and enforcement a seamless operation.

Over Forty TagMaster long-range UHF XT-3 Readers were integrated into T2’s cohesive solution, ultimately allowing for quick, hands-free vehicle access for students, faculty and staff at the controlled parking areas on UW’s campus. The long-range RFID Reader identifies a vehicle’s TagMaster AVI Tag as it approaches an entrance/exit gate and T2 Flex verifies the identity, triggering a gate to open for valid tags and denying access to anyone not permitted access in the specific parking area. TagMaster North America was able to add features onto the XT-3 Readers such as tag filtering, where the Readers are able to correctly and reliably distinguish between multiple tags in an area without disrupting the processing time, and TCP/IP, where the communications protocol can be used in the universities private network.

“This innovative combination along with T2 System’s market leading technology offers the unique opportunity for organizations like universities to utilize available parking more efficiently and enhance their level of customer service while increasing their parking revenue. It was a pleasure working with an organization so close to home such as UW and successfully providing them with a combined solution that works from T2 Systems!” – Ali Khaksar, President, TagMaster North America
