The Falcon transponder introduces a variety of new ways to improve enforceability for toll agencies and enhance driver experience. With integrated NFC functionality, these tags enable real-time interactions between vehicles and mobile applications.

One potential use case is High Occupancy Toll (HOT) and Express Lane Management. Vehicle occupancy declarations could be more easily enforced through mobile app verification rather than self-declaration. A sticker tag like the Falcon can be more cost-efficient and environmentally friendly compared to the traditional switchable hardcase tags. In addition, the mobile app could offer other features such as receiving alerts, checking balances, and refilling toll accounts, all enabled by the NFC interface on the Falcon tag.

The Falcon’s dual-frequency architecture opens the door for integration into broader intelligent transportation systems, including emerging Road Usage Charging (RUC) programs, parking management, mobility-as-a-service platforms, and many others. The Falcon is Gen2V2 compliant and offers advanced embedded cryptographic authentication, providing robust security for high-trust applications. This flexibility positions the Falcon dual-frequency transponder as a powerful tool in the evolution of connected vehicle infrastructure.
