Landside Security Applications
RFID technology can improve roadway and curbside security by enabling airport management to:
- limit vehicle access to certain areas
- gather information about each vehicle’s activities
- restrict vehicle access to the terminal curb area, which maximizes the use of limited curbside space, eliminates unwanted vehicles, reduces congestion
- provide detailed records of each vehicle’s location at specific times
- control and monitor commercial vehicles, including taxis, courtesy vehicles, shuttle buses, limousines, etc.
- using AVI readers and tags with an existing ACAMS, the reader can associate each driver with his approved airside vehicle
Landside Transportation Applications
RFID technology can enable airport management to:
- gather accurate roadway and vehicle information
- Our solutions allow you to analyze traffic patterns of various vehicle categories and to track specific tag-equipped vehicles.
- increase revenue
- By introducing per-trip fees, you can recover the costs of airport-supplied roadways, enforcement programs, and administrative services.
- the system can allow package-delivery vehicles access to short-term parking areas at reduced rates without forcing the driver to stop and take a ticket
- manage terminal parking restrictions and security requirements
- Using a tamper-resistant method of application, RFID tags can be placed on trusted or pre-screened vehicles as an alternative to manual screening.
Airside Security and Transportation Applications
By installing tags on ground-support equipment, you can manage vehicle inventory, trace each vehicle’s maintenance history, and provide a means of tracking each vehicle – all of which increase overall airport security.
You can, for example, also provide secure "bed down" areas within the airport's operations area (AOA) for your tag-equipped rolling stock, reducing the possibility of theft or misuse of these vehicles. Essentially, the support or parking areas function as an access-controlled "nest" within the AOA, where vehicle ingress/egress is monitored and controlled. The existing ACAMS capabilities allow inventory management and surveillance. Additionally, the anti-passback capabilities inherent in any electronic security system along with the tamper-resistant nature of the RFID tag provide a much higher level of security than non-tagged rolling stock.
