Vehicle Identification C The ability to identify a vehicle and access information about it by reading its RFID tag is a beneficial for companies like car rental agencies, car dealerships, and even car wash facilities. With the addition of software, these companies can pull up car records or purchases by just reading the cars unique RFID tag. Car washes (and other companies using car servicing as a business model) can use RFID to uniquely identify cars to enhance loyalty programs and automate transactions. Additionally, states and localities use RFID systems to automate tolling charges and keep traffic flowing more smoothly for those participating in the program.

Automatic detection of vehicles allows IT systems in distribution to improve traceability of shipments and to improvement the management of the distribution or materials handling fleet.

Although automatic number plate recognition can be useful in these areas, RFID vehicle tracking is particularly suited to systems working with unregistered vehicles or where identifying trailers (rather than the registered tractor) is the important element of the system.

RFID tags allow systems to identify vehicles to be electronically identified from metres away. Vehicles can be checked out automatically, along with an identified load. They can be checked back in again just as easily.
