Gate and Vehicle Solution
Based on plusID identity verification technology
Keep traffic moving while insuring the identity of drivers and vehicles
As the need for heightened security pervades every corner of society new challenges have been
created for the movement of vehicles through gates. Whether it is a port, a military base, or a
logistics center, vehicle traffic is slowed by traditional, manual methods of
verifying driver identity at portals and gates impacting productivity and the
flow of commerce.
Facility operators need to be able to quickly and reliably verify the identity
of drivers and vehicles without imposing solutions that violate privacy, add
substantial costs or create additional security risks for the organization.
An ideal approach would be to have a “fast lane” for drivers and vehicles
that we “know”, enabling them to proceed through checkpoints without
stopping. Conventional manual checks would still be used for the smaller
population of drivers and vehicles that are not pre-qualified.
While it is possible to install RFID technology on a truck for remote
identification of the vehicle, the challenge has been how to verify the
identity of the driver. A known vehicle with the wrong driver could present
as much, or more, of a risk than the presence of a completely unknown
vehicle.
Until now it has not been possible to reliably verify driver identity without
requiring a full stop for either manual inspection of identity credentials or
for execution of a biometric verification at a fixed, mounted reader. The
Privaris plusID Gate and Vehicle system changes that by offering the
world’s first, wireless, personal, biometric identity verification solution.
Personal biometrics
With Privaris plusID, drivers verify their identity by swiping their finger on their own key fob
biometric device as they approach the gate. The device compares the live fingerprint to the
fingerprint template securely stored inside their device and upon a match, wirelessly transmits
encrypted credential information (not biometric data) to the gate control system which validates
the access rights for that driver and vehicle.
Easy integration with physical access control systems
The Privaris gate system can be configured to output a Wiegand data stream – a standard
communications signal that is compatible with virtually all access control systems.
