RFID - A Ninja to Deal with Fake Parking Permit


rfid is new ninja for parking
Over the years, the issues related to the parking lot mismanagement have increased. In the traditional approach, also known as the manual parking lot management system, there is a requirement of skilled personnel to do the job perfectly. Manually managed parking lots are more in use when compared to the automatic ones. But wait..did you get the main drawback in the manual one? A lot of errors. Yes, these manual systems are more prone to errors. Sometimes, these errors can prove to be disastrous for the authorities.

With the advent of RFID technology, complete automation of numerous processes can be successfully achieved in the industries. In recent years, many businesses have implemented RFID technology in their operations. Innovations and continual developments in the wireless communications technology have made the RFID technology a lot cheaper. UHF (Ultra High-frequency) RFID tags have been introduced. These tags have a longer reading range and provide more accuracy when compared to its predecessor tags.

In this age of innovation, every new product comes with a warning message. Yes, you've heard it right. Every coin has two sides and its the common human tendency to look at the brighter one. This approach may be promoted as an optimistic one, but it is more like a lopsided approach. What about the darker side? We have to see it in order to implement a new technology effectively. This is a smart approach.

What if the power of technology falls into the wrong hands? The problems related to piracy and fake permits will increase. Reports show that there has been an increase in the cases related to fake parking permits. Sometimes, it is difficult to deal with such problems. The RFID technology can prove to be the ultimate savior for us.

Don't You Dare, RFID is Here!
rfid based parking management systems


RFID-based parking management systems have been developed to provide cost-effective parking lot management solutions to the authorities as well as providing convenient services to the people. These systems have also helped in the development of vehicle management system. The problem of fake parking permits can easily be solved by this RFID-based system.

In areas where you see the 'parking by permit only' sign, you require a special permit to park your vehicle in that specific area. Nowadays, there have been cases of fake parking permits. The only effective solution to deal with such cases lies in the magic chip known as the RFID tag.

An RFID tag can be incorporated into the permit sticker. This will help in accurate authentication of the driver as well as the vehicle. The design and logo of a permit sticker can easily be replicated, but it is almost impossible to replicate an RFID tag. These tags contain electronically stored information about the details of the vehicle owner as well as the duration of the permit.

The duration of the permit can be extended by the user of the parking lot. Authorities will just have to update the RFID unit of the sticker. The main benefit of these RFID tags lies in their transferable nature. If an owner has multiple vehicles, but he has the parking permit for only one then the tag can be easily transferred from one vehicle to another.

The RFID-based parking management systems have not only proved beneficial in increasing parking lot revenue but in dealing with problems related to parking permits as well.
