Vizrom is developing an electronic license plate to electronically display DMV issued vehicle registration number using an E ink display. In our modern-day technological age, one does not have to queue up in a long line at the DMV to renew their vehicle registration. The process is time consuming, antiquated and poses a great deal of inconvenience. Vizrom is solving this problem with a smart license plate. The device will allow users to automate the renewal of their vehicle registration without the need to go to the DMV. 

If the cars of tomorrow are designed to be intelligent and connected, why then, do we still used the metal registration number plates that was invented in the 18th century? This question is what Vizrom has set out to answer.

Our solution is an electronic license plate designed to electronically display your DMV issued vehicle registration number using an E ink display. With our electronic license plate, a user will be able to automate the renewal of their license plate without the need to go to the DMV. The renewal process involved either using an online account or a mobile app. Once the renewal process is completed, verified and approved by the DMV, the renewal information will automatically be updated on the electronic license plate using an LTE wireless communication.

If your vehicle is reported stolen, an alert can be sent to the electronic license plate to display “stolen” on the E ink display for other motorists to see. Once the alert is activated on the electronic license plate, the device will begin to send out geolocation signal. This will help the police and the owner of the vehicle to pinpoint the exact location of the vehicle in real-time. With the geolocation tracking info, a stolen vehicle can be recovered within hours instead of days.

The electronic license plate is packed with other exciting features such as amber alert, geofencing, automatic parking validation, telematics and more. Our electronic license plate is poised to redefine license plate as we know it and help to elevate our driving experience. 

In the years to come, self-driving cars are poised to dramatically alter our driving experience as we know it today. Most of the cars currently being designed, and soon to enter the roadways are designed to be connected and highly intelligent. This means that cars will be able to talk to one another. If the cars of tomorrow are designed to be intelligent and connected, why then do we still use the metal license plate that was invented in the 18th century? This question is what Vizrom has set out to answer.

We are reinventing the license plates from a mere metal to a smart license plate that can do more than display a license plate number. An interactive device that integrates with the host-vehicle to improve our driving experience and at the same time interact with other road users. 

Our electronic license plate has the capability to do more than display your DMV issued registration number. Other features include:

• Automate license plate renewal
• Telematics. 
• Geo-Fencing. 
• Amber Alerts. 
• Automatic Parking Validation. 
• Automatic Toll Payment. 
• Security Encryption of Data.
• Much More

For the past two years, we have been working behind the scene to conduct research and online searches regarding electronic license plate. When the idea was first conceived, we started to ask ourselves some tough questions. These questions were put forward to try to investigate the viability of the idea. One of the questions we set out to answer was how to display information on the screen of the license plate when the engine of the car is not running. We answered this question after we discovered Electronic Paper Display (EPD). EPD is the same technology that powers Amazon Kindle. It can retain information on the screen without the need for power.  After we discovered EPD, we started out to test our concept. Over the past few months, we have performed several proof of concept testing using the software that we developed for the purpose. Currently, we are developing our first prototype. 

With a valid registration license plate, your DMV issued registration number will appear. This includes two electronic stickers for the month and the year. While the registration number is tamper proof, you will be able to update the slogan with information of your choice. 

When your license plate expires, the stickers for the month and year will disappear. Prior to the expiration date, you will receive notifications on the 60th, 30th, and 7th dates before the expiration date. Once the registration number has been renewed, the stickers will reappear and the device updated with the renewal information.

Once it has been confirmed that your vehicle has been stolen. Your license plate will be updated to display "Stolen." A GPS tracking feature will then be activated to send out location signal. This will help law enforcement personnel to pinpoint the location of the stolen vehicle in real time.

Amber Alerts such as weather inclement, missing person alerts and other emergency information can be disseminated to the general public using the electronic license plate.

With RFID embedded in your Vizrom smart license plate, when your vehicle approaches the parking gate, the RFID at the gate will detect the embedded RFID in your electronic license plate. The system authorizes you and opens the gate. Instead of having to open your window to tap the gate, you'll have a hand-free parking experience

You won't have to run to the parking meter anymore to feed the meter. Before your allotted parking time expires, you will get a notification on your phone. You can extend the time and pay for your meter wherever you're without having to run to your car to feed the meter.
