Abstract:
Systems and methods for disabling transponders used in electronic toll collection or other RFID systems, wherein the transponders include an antenna and RFID circuitry. The transponders can be selectively disabled by releasably securing a disabling device having a metallic portion at an operative position over the antenna of the RFID system, whereupon the metallic portion is coupled to the antenna in such a manner as to disable the RFID circuitry so long as the disabling device is at the operative position. The RFID circuitry is arranged to be automatically enabled upon removal of the disabling device from the operative position.

Multi-Protocol Electronic Tolling System For Nation-Wide Use

G07B 15/06
US Classification:
705 13
Abstract:
A system is disclosed for assessing roadway toll charges across a plurality of tolling agencies, for example a nation-wide system that allows use of a multi-protocol RFID tag that is recognized in a plurality of states having different tag protocols in their electronic tolling systems. In an embodiment, each tolling agency sets aside numbers associated with the national system. Where a tag is read that is not identified as part of the national system, the local agency processes the tag transaction. There a tag is read that is identified as part of the national system, regardless of which tolling agency reads it, the transaction information is sent to a national customer service center for processing.
