•Case Study: Turkish Municipality Gives Green Light To RFID VEHICLE TRACKING

The Municipality of Pendik in Istanbul,Turkey, operates a highly trafficked parking area for its municipality-owned fleet of 1,000 vehicles. The lot has four gates, far away from each other. The cars move in and out of the lot four or five times each day. The municipality did not want to hire four parking lot attendants, yet funneling all the traffic through a single, congested gate was not an option.

Since some of the gates are dangerously close to a motorway, municipality officials did not want to distract its drivers by having them press buttons to open the barriers. They wanted a completely automated solution that would give the drivers better ease of use with an easy in and out.

To solve their problem, the municipality turned to STS Technology, an RFID solutions provider based in Turkey. STS has deployed Alien Technology products, including UHF (866 MHz) RFID EPC-complaint solutions, throughout the country. STS provides RFID solutions and services to customers in various industries, including retail, textile, manufacturing,transportation, and logistics.

STS recommended RFID solutions from Alien Technology and developed a complete RFID vehicle tracking solution for the municipality's parking lot and fleet of vehicles. Each gate has exit and entrance doors equipped with Alien ALR-8800 readers and circular antennas.

Each vehicle has an Alien M tag, which is applied inside the windshield. The M tag is a highperformance tag that is ideal for plastic. The tags are encapsulated in a sticker that has the logo of the Pendik municipality.
