DfT to trial RFID number plates
US publication Transport Communications reports that the British Department of Transport is to test vehicle number plates containing RFD (Radio Frequency Identification) tags that can send VIN number data to readers more than 100m away. DfT gave the go-ahead for the micro chipped number plates recently, with a trial expected later this year. A Department spokesman said the point of the test is to see whether microchips will make number plates harder to tamper with or clone.
