December 26, 2005—I.D. Systems, Inc. has announced that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has published its final report on the company’s wireless vehicle tracking/fleet management project at Newark Liberty International Airport.
The report concludes that the three-phase project, under which approximately 80 vehicles were monitored, successfully demonstrated that I.D. Systems’ RFID-based Wireless Asset Net(TM) system is an effective tool for securing and managing vehicles in the radio frequency (RF)-rich environment of a major US airport.
Under the project, more than 100 distinct system elements were tested without a single requirement failure. The system hardware “proved highly reliable” and vehicle access control was extremely effective, with “not one instance during any phase of the trial” of unauthorized personnel being able to operate a monitored vehicle. The system was also found to provide “extensive planning/management tools that permit managers to maximize their resources, leading to a more efficient operation.”
The complete report, reference number DHS/TSA/TSL-05/76, is on file at the TSL Library at the Atlantic City, New Jersey, International Airport, and also accessible to the public through the U.S. National Technical Information Service (NITS) in Springfield, Virginia.
