Hoboken boosts parking industry with RFID handheld devices
Hoboken, a New Jersey city is going to adopt the RFID technology to ease the work pressure of parking-enforcement officers. As per the plans, the officers are using handheld RFID devices usually readers to scan UHF RFID tags fixed in city-issued resident parking permits. The officers can easily track in a fraction of time whether a car is legally parked with the proper permit.
Parking is an important industry for Hoboken. The city earns about $20m revenue from parking permits and parking fines. The city is spending around $50,000 installing the RFID equipment and software. It expects to collect more than $ 1 million in savings.
