The case study describes how RFID technology was used to automate vehicle access control at the corporate headquarters of a major financial company in Mumbai, allowing contactless access through multiple entrances and parking areas using RFID tags read by antennas connected to readers running Vicinity RFID's Agile middleware to control motorized gates and boom barriers. The system provided automated, offline authentication of authorized vehicles from a distance of 5 meters or more for improved security and access management.
Rfid In Vehicle Access
- 1. Case Study RFID in Vehicle Access Control
- 2. Case Study- Centrum House • Corporate headquarter of one of the leading Financial Company in India • Situated at CST Road, near Mumbai business hub BKC • Multiple entries and exits • Multiple parking areas • Motorized Gate at the main entrance and boom barriers for basement
- 3. Operational Characteristics • The parking in the building is divided in two parts a) Upper Deck- Entry and exit through same gate, reserved exclusively for top management. b) Main Entry/Basement – Separate sliding gates for entry and exit • Additionally basement entry has barriers installed to prevent the parking of visitors vehicles in the basement • The sliding gates were earlier operated manually by the guards after visible authentication of vehicles.
- 4. Goals • To allow automated vehicle access to premises • Reading from long distance 5+ meters • Off line authentication of vehicles • Complete control on system from PC • User Reports
- 5. Products Used • ThingMagic Mercury 4 UHF Readers – 2 Nos. • M/ACOM Bi-static Antennas – 6 Nos. • SM Electronics - Opto Isolated GPIO board – 2Nos. • FAAC Boom Barriers – 2 Nos. • FAAC motorized gates – 3 Nos. • Vicinity RFID – Agile Middleware for Vehicle Access.
- 6. The Solution • Both the main entrances were controlled using 1 no. Mercury 4 Reader and 3 Bi-static antennas.
- 8. • The boom barriers and exit gate are controlled using 2nd Mercury 4 Reader. • Tags are affixed inside the windshield of the authorized vehicles. • System Authenticates the authorized vehicle and signals the gate /barrier to open.
- 9. Software : Introducing Agile • Agile middleware is ported in the Mercury 4 readers enabling it to work even if the PC is switched off. • The entire tag data is ported in the readers. • Agile Synchronization module is installed in the PC. • The PC is used to upload and download the data and transactions. • The entry and exit reports are generated form the Agile module in the PC.
