ITS - Intelligent Transportation Systems

Kathrein Solutions offers advanced RFID solutions for the transportation and traffic sector that are specifically tailored to the needs of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Using state-of-the-art technology, Kathrein supports a wide range of applications, including vehicle identification, tolling systems, electronic vehicle registration, parking and smart city applications. These solutions not only improve efficiency and safety, but also provide comprehensive transparency and control over traffic flows.

Core applications

Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)

Kathrein Solutions offers RFID-based tolling systems that enable fast and accurate detection of vehicles. These systems reduce congestion at toll stations and increase the efficiency of toll collection. 

Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI)

Automatic vehicle identification is essential for access control to secure areas, fleet management and theft protection. With RFID technology, vehicles can be identified quickly and accurately, which increases security and simplifies administrative processes.

Electronic Vehicle Registration (EVR)

EVR systems facilitate vehicle registration and support the management of vehicle data in real time. These systems help to increase efficiency in administration and improve safety.

ABOUT ITS

WHAT IS ITS?
ADVANTAGES OF ITS WITH RFID

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are advanced technologies developed to improve the efficiency, safety and sustainability of transportation infrastructures. ITS integrates various technologies such as sensors, data analysis, communication and control to optimize traffic flow, reduce congestion and increase road safety. The main components include automated traffic signaling systems, electronic toll collection, real-time monitoring and incident management. These systems help to improve public transportation, reduce emissions and promote sustainable urban mobility.

  • Real-time data processingImmediate collection and analysis of traffic data.
  • Efficient toll collectionAutomatic, contactless toll payment reduces waiting times.
  • Vehicle tracking and identificationPrecise tracking and identification of vehicles for better traffic management.
  • Security benefitsImproved security through controlled access and theft protection.
  • Environmental protectionReduction of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption through optimized traffic flow.
  • Cost reductionReduction of operating costs through reduced manual intervention and increased efficiency.

FUNCTIONAL MODE

Technical details

When RFID is used for intelligent transportation systems (ITS), RFID tags are attached to vehicles and RFID readers are installed at strategic traffic points such as gantries or toll stations. The tags transmit real-time identification data to the readers as they pass, which then forward this information to a central system. The system analyzes the data to control traffic flows, such as adjusting traffic light cycles or managing toll stations. Integration with other technologies such as GPS and cameras further increases traffic efficiency and safety. These systems are crucial for modern traffic management and optimization.

Security at ITS with Kathrein Solutions

The security of the recorded data is a central component of Kathrein solutions. The RFID systems offer protection against unauthorized access and are certified according to the latest security standards, including ISO 18000-63. This ensures that data integrity and security is guaranteed even in critical infrastructures.

Kathrein Solutions is a leading provider in the field of AutoID technology and is continuously working on the further development of its products. With a focus on innovation and quality, Kathrein offers future-proof solutions that meet the increasing requirements in the ITS sector.
