iPico's passive UHF RFID device is the enabling technology for the electronic vehicle identification (EVI) initiative by government departments, private and non-governmental organisations. iPico says that if the government rolls out an EVI project, the new technology can be used as a high integrity vehicle identification system.
EVI applications include electronic licensing, tolling, traffic and speed control, ticketing and cross-border control.
