e-Plat will be using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, an electronic device that uses radio waves to speed up the transmission of communication data for the purpose of identifying, locating and sensing the conditions of objects.
According Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, e-Plat will serve as an electronic identification card affixed to metal license plates to automatically identify vehicles and verify they are properly registered.
“With the e-Plat, we can detect criminals using fake registration numbers and also prevent cars from being stolen,” said Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, adding that the same technology is being used in France and Australia in similar initiatives.
“Using e-Plat on all vehicles will help us reduce crime. In addition, data recorded in e-Plat will assist police to detect the criminals and location of the car,” he said.
