Customer benefits

• Contactless cards in the OBUs ensure short transaction times
• Contactless MIFARE reader ICs in OBUs allow a cost efficient solution
• Contactless MIFARE solutions are robust and reliable (vibration proof and not affected by air humidity, dust, etc)

• Suitable for mobility multi-applications (toll, parking, public and transport)

Keeping traffic flowing at toll booths needs a fast and convenient system. MIFARE contactless cards are the ideal solution for 'touch-and-go' booths and can be combined with on-board units in the car, for use in freeflow systems.

MIFARE can also support road tolling as part of an integrated transport solution, allowing a single smart card to be used for road tolling, parking and public transport applications - providing the key to individual mobility.
