BAA Heathrow selected Nedap's vehicle identification system to manage taxi movement at the world's busiest international airport, London Heathrow.
Nedap N.V. is supplier of products, systems and services in the field of payment systems, security, loss prevention and biometric.
Following the adoption, all terminals and the taxi feeder park on London Heathrow airport will be equipped with Nedap's vehicle identification system.
The complete taxi management system consists of the vehicle identification system integrated into the central management system. The vehicle identification system provides the central system all the necessary information to regulate the taxi flow on the airport.
The vehicle identification system, TRANSIT, offers automatic and simultaneous identification of the taxi and the taxi driver. The identification of the vehicle enables the division of vehicle in various categories, therefore encouraging the use of ecologically-friendly vehicles.
The taxi driver is identified to ensure that the transaction on the airport is charged to the correct driver. Moreover the combined vehicle and driver identification provides an extra dimension of safety to the airport.
The TRANSIT system communicates by means of wireless network technology to the central taxi management system, thereby reducing installation costs and upheaval on the busy airport.
The system also supplies a high level of comfort for the users, especially as the taxi and taxi driver are identified while driving, without any required driver intervention. Using a handheld scanner with the latest identification and bluetooth technology, the taxi warden can identify the vehicle and the driver nearby the terminal, to verify the data in the central database and register local taxi journeys.
The taxi management system will be operational in the summer of this year.
