Intercedes MyID TM Smart Card and Identity Management System Chosen for the Irish Tachograph Project
The Irish Department of Transport has awarded Intercede with a contract to supply MyID to enable Ireland to comply with European Commission regulations and combat European road safety violations with a smart card based tachograph system.
Lutterworth, Leicestershire, UK (PRWEB) December 20, 2004 -- Intercede, today announces it has been selected by the Irish Department of Transport to provide its MyID smart card and identity management software for the secure enrolment, processing and management of digital tachograph cards.
Intercedes MyID will provide a secure easy-to-use card issuing and management system for the enrolment of up to 100,000 transport professionals, processing of tachograph applications and ongoing management of tachograph smart cards including renewal, replacement and exchange. As part of the contract, MyID will be integrated with the European wide TACHOnet and a number of other third party systems.
