TAP serve ITS with automates bus depots and parking facilities: RFID vehicle identification, depot gate and barrier control, biometric staff access and attendance, and parking entry, exit and occupancy systems.
At the depot, every bus is identified automatically as it enters, leaves and moves between the washing, fueling and maintenance areas, building a time-stamped record of fleet activity that feeds maintenance planning and fleet availability. In parking facilities, controlled entry and exit, license-plate recognition and occupancy sensing give operators full control of capacity and revenue.
Overview
Two Facilities, One Approach
Depots and parking facilities share the same requirement: know exactly which vehicle is where, and control who and what enters. TAP delivers equipment for both.
Depot Management Equipment
Automatic identification and tracking of every bus through the depot, with controlled gates and biometric staff access.
- Active RFID vehicle tags
- RFID readers at gates and key points
- Gate control and position sensors
- Biometric access and attendance stations
- Depot servers and workstations
Parking Control Equipment
Controlled entry and exit, vehicle recognition and occupancy information for park-and-ride and public parking.
- Entry and exit barriers
- Ticket and payment terminals
- License-plate recognition cameras
- Bay occupancy sensors
- Guidance and capacity displays
Depot Layout
Identification Points Across the Depot
RFID readers are placed at the depot gate and at each operational area, so the system knows when each bus arrives, where it goes and when it leaves.
Depot Gate
- RFID entry reader
- RFID exit reader
- Barrier control
- Gate cameras
Washing Bay
Cleaning and washing cycles recorded per vehicle.
Fueling Area
Fueling events linked to each bus for consumption monitoring.
Maintenance Workshop
Workshop entry and exit for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.
Parking & Stabling Area
Vehicles in stabling, ready for service and staged for departure.
Staff Entrance
Biometric access and attendance for drivers and depot staff.

- BIOBiometric access point
Vehicle Movements
A Bus's Day in the Depot, Recorded Automatically
Each movement is logged with the vehicle’s unique ID and a time stamp, without any action from drivers or depot staff.
Vehicle Identification
RFID Vehicle Identification
An active RFID tag on each bus is read automatically by fixed readers, giving reliable identification at gate and yard speeds without driver interaction.
| Vehicle tag | Active RFID tag mounted on the vehicle windshield, carrying a unique vehicle ID |
|---|---|
| Readers | Fixed RFID readers at the depot entrance and exit and at key points inside the depot |
| Gate integration | Gate controls and opening/closing sensors linked to vehicle identification |
| Event record | Vehicle ID, location and time stamp for every entry, exit and movement between depot areas |
| Data use | Fleet status, maintenance and cleaning schedules, fuel monitoring and depot reporting |
| Connectivity | Depot network link to depot servers and the central depot management system |

- 02Controlled staff entry gates
- 03Driver and staff attendance records
- 04Restricted-area access rules
- 05Access event logging
Biometric Access & Attendance
Biometric stations at depot entrances record the entry and exit of drivers and staff by face or fingerprint, combined with controlled gates.
Attendance records feed workforce reporting, while access rules keep workshops, stores and equipment rooms limited to authorized staff.
Parking
Controlled Parking from Entry to Exit
TAP equips parking facilities, including park-and-ride sites at transit stations, with a complete entry, guidance and exit sequence.
- 01
Entry Terminal & Barrier
Vehicles are admitted through a controlled barrier, with a ticket or credential issued at the entry terminal.
- 02
License-Plate Recognition
ANPR cameras read the license plate at entry and exit, linking each visit to the vehicle.
- 03
Occupancy & Guidance
Bay occupancy sensors and capacity displays guide drivers to available spaces.
- 04
Payment & Exit
Payment is completed at a terminal and the exit barrier opens for the validated vehicle.
- 05
Central Monitoring
Occupancy, transactions and equipment status are reported to the operator in real time.
