electronic vehicle registration

Neology continues to dominate as a supplier of ISO 18000 6C sticker tag technology for Mexico's electronic vehicle registration (EVR). The first of REPUVE's Phase 2 contracts for readers and software has gone to Neology of San Diego over its main competitor Sirit. The contracts provide for supply of roadside readers and handhelds to the police of the states of Campeche, Tamaulipas and Nayarit.  

The first installation of roadside systems for Mexico's ambitious nationwide electronic vehicle registration (EVR) has been completed by Sirit and Axiompass.  The installation using Sirit's open road tolling technology including ID5100 readers, Sirit lane controllers and software and PIPS cameras produces a system that can simultaneously read the electronic registration stickers by RFID and their license plate numbers with cameras.

The tags will begin to be deployed mid-2011 and three years later all the approximate 50m motor vehicles in the country are due to have them.

Mexican toll and motor vehicle registry authorities are cooperating to deploy sticker tags on the windshield of every vehicle in the country.
