Rain to support RFID tech in Europe

The Rain Alliance has formed a working group to support the use of its radio-frequency identification (RFID) road charging technology on European roads.

The non-profit organisation is seeking to accelerate the adoption of ultra high frequency (UHF) and RFID technology in business and consumer applications.

Members of the European Road Charging Workgroup (EURCWG), including Star Systems International and NXP Semiconductors, will focus on furthering EU legislation to include Rain RFID as a road charging technology.
