Why it matters
Automated infrastructure management improves operational efficiency and accountability in municipal waste management services.
The Coimbatore Corporation has installed a boom barrier integrated with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-based vehicle access control system at the Vellalore dump yard to regulate the movement of waste transport vehicles and strengthen security.
The ₹10-lakh system is expected to be commissioned on a trial basis shortly. Only authorised vehicles fitted with RFID tags will be allowed to enter the facility through the boom barrier. The RFID reader will automatically identify the tagged vehicles, record their entry and exit, and permit access only to authorised vehicles.
Officials said the vehicle movement data will be transmitted to the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) for real-time monitoring. Mobile-based access will also be provided to authorised officials to monitor vehicle movement and access records remotely.
