9 March 2005 Mobile Reader User’s Manual Version 1.0 Page 1 1 Introduction The Mobile Reader provides the capability for MnPass Enforcement personnel to interrogate a vehicle and determine if there is a valid MnPass transponder in the vehicle, and that the Transponder has had toll collected within a predetermined period of time. 1.1 Mobile Reader Hardware Overview The Mobile Reader consists of a DSRC Reader unit, a patch antenna, a PDA with mount, and connecting cables. The Pocket PC uses the WindowsTM Pocket PC 2003 operating system. The Portable Reader Application program resides on the Pocket PC, and provides the Portable Reader operator interface and control functions. Figure 1.1-1 shows the Mobile Reader Antenna placement. Figure 1.1-2 shows the DSRC Reader used as the Mobile Reader. Figure 1.1-1 Mobile Reader Antenna Location
9 March 2005 Mobile Reader User’s Manual Version 1.0 Page 2 Figure 1.1-2 DSRC Mobile Reader Unit The Reader is controlled by commands issued by the Mobile Reader Application program from the Pocket PC as directed by operator actions. The Reader processes these commands, communicates with the transponder as required, and responds with appropriate data or status. 1.2 Safety Considerations The Mobile Reader software and the Reader have safeguards to assure that the Reader will not transmit until the user is ready to read the transponder. In addition, the operator must specifically select the operation that will require the Reader to transmit. The operator must assure that there are no people within 0.3336 meters of the Reader antenna prior to operation of the Reader. The antenna is mounted on the right rear pillar of the enforcement vehicle. This provides a ground plane preventing radiation from entering the inside of the car. However, as an added safety precaution, no one should be sitting in the back seat of the enforcement vehicle while the Reader is being used.

Press anywhere on the screen to initiate a search after verifying that no one is within 0.3336 meters of the Mobile Reader antenna. The search should be initiated when the patrol car is correctly positioned with respect to the vehicle to be tested. If the enforcement vehicle is stationary, then initiate the Search by pressing anywhere on the screen when the vehicle in question can be seen in the rear mirrors of the enforcement vehcile. If the patrol vehicle is moving, initiate the Search by pressing anywhere on the screen when the enforcement vehicle is adjacent to the vehicle in question. The enforcement vehicle must then pass the vehicle in question. Figure 4.2-1 Mobile Reader Startup Screen 4.3 Search Results – Valid Read If the Search was successful, a VALID read will result. This can be seen in Figure 4.3-1. The PDA will display VALID in green lettering. In addition, a “BING” sound can be heard. This means that the transponder had toll collected within the allotted time.
