Kenya to use hybrid NFC/RFID stickers for national vehicle identity

Kenya’s National Transport and Safety Authority has issued a tender for a new vehicle identification system that will combine hybrid NFC/RFID windscreen stickers with a mobile app running on standard NFC smartphones.

The hybrid tag uses a combination of RFID and NFC technology. This helps in automatic mass data acquisition on larger distances, for instance on highways and case-by-case data logging through Kenya Traffic Police and NTSA personnel on the roads.
