1 INTRODUCTION
The Prox-Booster and Smartcard-Boosters are dual ID tags enabling simultaneous
identification of the inserted personal ID card and the embedded vehicle ID
resulting in rapid driver and vehicle monitoring. The Prox-Booster Tacho additionally
sends the tacho-counter value, which relates to the travelled distance of the vehicle.
The Booster allows an inserted Proximity or Smartcard driver ID card and embedded
vehicle ID to be read from a distance up to 10 meters (33 feet) in combination with
NEDAP TRANSIT readers. This solution substantially enhances the level of security
when controlling activities of vehicles that are regularly used by different drivers.
Additionally a fully integrated vehicle and personnel access solution can be
implemented.
The Smartcard-Booster Ultimate additionally supports encrypted authentication
using diversified AES128 bit keys, in combination with the TRANSIT Ultimate and the
Security Key Pack.
For more details about the NEDAP TRANSIT Standard or Ultimate reader refer to the
corresponding installation guide.
The combined vehicle and driver ID is a unique NEDAP patented feature. Optionally
the vehicle-ID can be sacrificed if more information from the personal ID card is
required.
The following personal ID card types are identified with the Boosters:
• Prox-Booster (tacho) NEDAP, EM and HID PROX
• Smartcard-Booster (Ultimate) MIFARE (incl. Desfire EV1), HID iCLASS,
ISO14443A, ISO15693 and Calypso.
