MotorTag Intelligent Transport and Parking Systems
MotorTag is a specialist technology solution focussed on automated vehicle identification, intelligent transportation and parking systems.
MotorTag is a number of unique products, specifically designed for automated vehicle identification, access control, tracking or logging of vehicle movements to assist in their safety and efficient operation. These products can be used in a wide range of applications such as electronic permits for residents’ on-street parking, or commercial applications such as automated date/time logging of truck movements in or out of a yard.
Our technology can be deployed in stand-alone mode for a specific requirement, or imbedded or integrated with other hardware or software systems, to provide a complete solution for our customers.
System Overview
MotorTag provides an electronic parking management system, consisting of the following elements:
1. Permit holders would apply for electronic permits via the existing channels or directly through an online web portal.
2. A more convenient and secure electronic parking permit will replace the current paper permits. It is still easily attached to the inside of the vehicle windscreen.
3. Parking attendants carrying handheld readers will wirelessly interrogate the vehicle tags, which will provide a unique permit number.
4. The permit number is relayed to a central database via the existing mobile phone network.
5. The specific permit and vehicle data is located within the database and the relevant information is sent back to the handheld device.
6. Permit and vehicle information are displayed on the screen of the handheld reader, enabling the parking attendant to easily verify the validity of the parking permit.
