RFID ETC(Electronic Toll Collection) Solution:

Electronic toll collection aims to eliminate the delay on toll roads, HOV lanes, toll bridges, and toll tunnels by collecting tolls without cash and without requiring cars to stop. Electronic toll booths may operate alongside cash lanes so that drivers who do not have transponders can pay a cashier or throw coins into a receptacle. With cashless tolling, cars without transponders are either excluded or pay by plate – a bill may be mailed to the address where the car's license plate number is registered, or drivers may have a certain amount of time to pay with a credit card by phone. Open road tolling is a popular form of cashless tolling without toll booths; cars pass electronic readers even at highway speeds without the safety hazards and traffic bottlenecks created by having to slow down to go through an automated toll booth lane.

Our systems accurately register containers entering or exiting the terminal by any means of transport – truck, wagon tracking to make the right planning decisions, reducing unproductive moves and idle time. We deliver engineered customized systems that are based on proven technology and interface with any TOS (Terminal Operating System) and automation system. This is an aspect in which RFID control can bring in beneficial changes.

As a leading technology company in innovative terminal automation solutions, We provide optimization of gate, rail and crane operations. A typical automation solution for container terminals combines and integrates RFID in-house developed IoT, other hardware, and software systems. This ensures fast and accurate processing of the containers – at terminal entry and exit as well as during handling – with limited use of resources.

SOLUTION MODULES

System Introduction:

Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) provide communications between a vehicle and the roadside in specific locations, for example, toll plazas. They may then be used to support specific Intelligent Transport System applications such as Electronic Fee Collection.

DSRC is for data-only systems and operates on radio frequencies in the 5,725 MHz to 5,875 MHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands. DSRC systems consist of Road Side Units (RSUs) and Board Units (OBUs) with transceivers and transponders. The DSRC standards specify the operational frequencies and system bandwidths but also allow for optional frequencies that are covered by national regulations.

Solution 1：EPC C1G2

EPC C1G2 are the short names commonly used instead of the "Electronic Product Code Class 1 Generation 2" standard.

Tag： Higgs™ 3 EPC Class 1 Gen 2 RFID Tag IC

Higgs-3 offers a flexible memory architecture that provides for the optimum allocation of EPC and User memory for different use cases such as legacy part numbering systems and service history. User memory can also be read and or written locked on 64-bit boundaries, supporting a variety of public/private usage models.

The general steps are as follows:

In the parking lot ETC project, a reader can connect up to 4 antennas. The reading times of multiple antennas on the same tag will be collected within 200ms, and the lane where the tag is located will be judged according to the reading times.

The entire verification process is:

• Read the EPC
• Read TID // 1,2 and then do step 3
• Read the protected data on the user area by accessing the password

The Hopeland reader can read EPC, TID, and user zone data with access password simultaneously with one instruction

Read Epc 12byte + tid 12byte + user 8byte (04~07 block , 4 word data with access password)

The time calculation method is Client (Demo software) -> Reader -> Tag

The sampling method is obtained by the total read times in 30 seconds, that is, the time of each read is obtained by 30 / total read times

Solution 2：EPC C2G2

Hopeland reader supports the latest EPC C2G2 protocol

EPC Class 2 tags are enhanced Gen 2 Class 1 tags. They contain all of the Class 1 features plus an extended TAG ID (TID), extended user memory, authenticated access control, and additional features that will be defined in the Class 2 specification.

Tag： NXP® UCODE® DNA Track EPC Class 2 Gen 2
This advanced RAIN RFID chip delivers precise, automated tracking while offering secure product authentication based on AES encryption. The result is detailed inventory control that lets businesses and consumers confirm originality.

C2G2 tag authentication process

Reader Setting:

Insert and activate Encryption keys
– Keys are located in “virtual” user memory
– Keys can be inserted, verified, and activated using standard BlockWrite
– After activation, the keys can only be used for authentication
(they will be read/write protect)

Two 128-bit encryption keys
o Key0 for Tag Authentication,
o Key1 for Tag Authentication with additional custom data

Untraceable Hides (parts) of the tag’s TID, EPC, and/or user memory
