29-671: The initial proposal and planning for the line were made as early as 2007. Plans were submitted by Haifa's development company Yefe Nof and approved by the National Planning Committee in February 2017. Further planning and construction will be managed by the Cross–Israel Highway company. It is to be constructed in two stages. The first stage involves civil engineering works to build the necessary infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and parking facilities, while

58-455: A flight transponder is an automated transceiver in an aircraft that emits a coded identifying signal in response to an interrogating received signal. In a communications satellite , a satellite transponder receives signals over a range of uplink frequencies, usually from a satellite ground station ; the transponder amplifies them, and re-transmits them on a different set of downlink frequencies to receivers on Earth, often without changing

87-567: A discounted rate (though they pay more than those who have installed a "Passkal"). The bill is sent to the vehicle's owner if the license plate is not in Highway 6's database, according to the car registration with the Israeli Ministry of Transportation. Such a vehicle pays the highest rate. The licensed road operator, Derech Eretz , operates a fleet of service vehicles that patrol the entire highway and assist drivers in need. Since it

116-414: A lap they swipe or touch the receiver which is connected to a computer and log their lap time. NASCAR uses transponders and cable loops placed at numerous points around the track to determine the lineup during a caution period. This system replaced a dangerous race back to the start-finish line . Many modern automobiles have keys with transponders hidden inside the plastic head of the key. The user of

145-523: A normal freeway with interchanges. A radio antenna detects when a vehicle with a transponder has entered and exited the highway, calculating the toll rate. An automatic license plate recognition system is used for vehicles without a transponder. Monthly statements are mailed to users. Highway 6 is based on the technology of the Highway 407 in Ontario , Canada developed by Raytheon . The pricing scheme

174-500: A profit of 89 million NIS for 2005, an increase of 56% from 2004, on income of 779 million NIS, an increase of 137% from 2004. At the end of 2005: The highway's count starts at 30km since it includes the planned southern extensions. Transponder In telecommunications , a transponder is a device that, upon receiving a signal, emits a different signal in response. The term is a blend of transmitter and responder . In air navigation or radio frequency identification ,

203-520: A result, differences in transponder functionality also might influence the functional description of related optical modules like transceivers and muxponders . Another type of transponder occurs in identification friend or foe (IFF) systems in military aviation and in air traffic control secondary surveillance radar (beacon radar) systems for general aviation and commercial aviation . Primary radar works best with large all-metal aircraft, but not so well on small, composite aircraft. Its range

232-418: A ship's radar screen. Sonar transponders operate under water and are used to measure distance and form the basis of underwater location marking, position tracking and navigation . Electronic toll collection systems such as E-ZPass in the eastern United States use RFID transponders to identify vehicles. Transponders are used in races for lap timing. A cable loop is dug into the race circuit near to

261-405: Is also limited by terrain and rain or snow and also detects unwanted objects such as automobiles, hills and trees. Furthermore, it cannot always estimate the altitude of an aircraft. Secondary radar overcomes these limitations but it depends on a transponder in the aircraft to respond to interrogations from the ground station to make the plane more visible. Depending on the type of interrogation,

290-432: Is based on the number of segments a driver passes in a trip. Each segment is the road span between two interchanges . As of April 2018 , the pricing for up to 3 segments was 19.78 NIS , 23.83 NIS for four segments, and 27.88 NIS for five or more segments. An additional fee is paid when driving through the "northern" segment, the cost of which is an additional 5.74 NIS. Pricing for motorcycles and heavy vehicles such as trucks

319-438: Is different. The price above is discounted for drivers who register with Highway 6's operator and install the in-vehicle transponder unit (called a "Passkal," lit. "easy-pass") to record their highway usage. When a vehicle does not have a transponder, its license plate is scanned , and the vehicle is identified. Drivers who pre-register their license plate with the operator and establish a direct billing relationship also receive

348-412: Is mandatory in controlled airspace in many countries. Some countries have also required, or are moving toward requiring, that all aircraft be equipped with Mode S, even in uncontrolled airspace . However, in the field of general aviation there have been objections to these moves, because of the cost, size, limited benefit to the users in uncontrolled airspace, and, in the case of balloons and gliders ,

377-614: Is officially dedicated the Yitzhak Rabin Highway ( Hebrew : כביש יצחק רבין , Kvish Yitzḥak Rabin ), though this name is not commonly used. It began operating in 2002 and continues to be lengthened as construction proceeds on newer sections. The southern terminus is at Shoket Interchange , opened in November 2016. The northern terminus is the Tel Kashish Interchange, opened on November 14, 2018, where

406-504: Is technically a private road, the road operator must pay the Israel police for traffic enforcement. The tolled sections north of Yokneam are operated by a separate franchisee called "6 – Northern Crossing." Registration and billing for these sections are handled separately by them, and tolling is performed using automatic license plate recognition only (no tolling by transponder). All the existing (and planned) segments of Highway 6 south of

435-556: The Green Line . Currently, it is 204 km long, all of which is a controlled-access highway . This figure will grow in the next few years as additional segments are extended northward and southward from the existing section of the road. As of 2013 , some parts were under construction while others were undergoing statutory approvals and permitting processes. Highway 6 uses a system of cameras and transponders to toll vehicles automatically. The lack of toll booths allows it to operate as

464-450: The Soreq interchange are free of charge in both directions, as is the segment between Ben Shemen and Daniyyel interchanges, where Highway 6 runs concurrently with Highway 1 . The northern section between Highway 77 and Highway 75 in the western Jezreel Valley is also free (in part of the section where Highway 6 runs concurrently with Highway 70). In March 2006, Derech Eretz reported

493-580: The Trans-Israel Highway or Cross-Israel Highway ( Hebrew : כביש חוצה ישראל , Kvish Ḥotzeh Yisra'el ), is a major electronic toll highway in Israel . Highway 6 is the first Israeli Build-Operate-Transfer road constructed, carried out mainly by the private sector in return for a concession to collect tolls on the highway for a given number of years. It is also one of the largest infrastructure projects undertaken in Israel. The highway

522-780: The Yiftachel Interchange, the northern entrance of Nazareth, and an area adjacent to Reineh and Mashhad . Two municipal stations will be built, one in Nof HaGalil and the other in Nazareth. Up to nine park and ride facilities will be built along the route. An expansion to the Krayot has been proposed, going along Highway 22 , to serve the neighbourhoods constructed in the 2010s in Kiryat Bialik . The train will travel at up to 100 km/h (62 mph) on

551-546: The car may not even be aware that the transponder is there, because there are no buttons to press. When a key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and turned, the car's computer sends a signal to the transponder. Unless the transponder replies with a valid code, the computer will not allow the engine to be started. Transponder keys have no battery; they are energized by the signal itself. Transponders may also be used by residents to enter their gated communities . However, having more than one transponder causes problems. If

580-695: The content of the received signal or signals. A communications satellite ’s channels are called transponders because each is a separate transceiver or repeater . With digital video data compression and multiplexing , several video and audio channels may travel through a single transponder on a single wideband carrier . Original analog video only has one channel per transponder, with subcarriers for audio and automatic transmission identification service ( ATIS ). Non-multiplexed radio stations can also travel in single channel per carrier (SCPC) mode, with multiple carriers (analog or digital) per transponder. This allows each station to transmit directly to

609-404: The highway now merges into Highway 70 heading northwest. Another northern extension to Somech Interchange opened in 2019. The highway aims to provide an efficient north–south transportation corridor in Israel while allowing drivers to bypass the traffic-congested Tel Aviv region in the country's center. Thus, it is the easternmost major highway in Israel, in some places located almost right on

638-504: The inter-city section, and up to 50 km/h (31 mph) on the urban section. There will be 20 stations, ten inter-city and nine urban. The system's depot will be in Kiryat Ata. The line is expected to serve 12,000 daily passengers when it opens. The cost of construction is expected to be ILS 6.4 billion. The length of the line will be 41km. Highway 6 (Israel) Highway 6 ( Hebrew : כביש 6 , Kvish Shesh ), also known as

667-880: The line. The inter-city route will start at the HaMifrats Central railway station in Haifa, continue through northern Kiryat Ata and go along Highway 79 from Somekh Interchange to the end of the highway in Reineh . It will end on Ma'aleh Yitzhak Street in Nof HaGalil , where the urban section will start. The urban section will continue through Nof HaGalil by way of Ma'aleh Yitzhak, and terminate in central Nazareth. Eight interurban stations will be built: two in Haifa (HaMifrats Central railway station and Vulcan Junction), three in Kiryat Ata, as well as one each in Shefa-'Amr ,

696-466: The power requirements during long flights. Transponders are used on some military aircraft to ensure ground personnel can verify the functionality of a missile’s flight termination system prior to launch. Such radar-enhancing transponders are needed as the enclosed weapon bays on modern aircraft interfere with prelaunch, flight termination system verification performed by range safety personnel during training test launches. The transponders re-radiate

725-530: The satellite, rather than paying for a whole transponder, or using landlines to send it to an earth station for multiplexing with other stations. In fiber-optic communications , a transponder is the element that sends and receives the optical signal from a fiber . A transponder is typically characterized by its data rate and the maximum distance the signal can travel. The term "transponder" can apply to different items with important functional differences, mentioned across academic and commercial literature: As

754-455: The second stage, which will be done under a public-private partnership, will involve the installation of railway infrastructure, track laying, and the procurement of rolling stock. Construction works on the line began in January 2021. Two tenders have been published for the construction of tunnels and bridges. 6 companies have passed the pre-qualification stage for the tender to build and operate

783-850: The signals allowing for much longer communication distances. The International Maritime Organization 's International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) requires the Automatic Identification System (AIS) to be fitted aboard international voyaging ships with 300 or more  gross tonnage  (GT), and all passenger ships regardless of size. AIS transmitters/receivers are generally called transponders , but they generally transmit autonomously, although coast stations can interrogate class B transponders on smaller vessels for additional information. In addition, navigational aids often have transponders called RACON (radar beacons) designed to make them stand out on

812-436: The start/finish line. Each individual runner or car has an active transponder with a unique ID code. When the individual passes the start/finish line, the lap time and the racing position is shown on the score board. Passive and active RFID systems are used in motor sports , and off-road events such as Enduro and Hare and Hounds racing, the riders have a transponder on their person, normally on their arm. When they complete

841-467: The transponder sends back a transponder code (or "squawk code", Mode A) or altitude information (Mode C) to help air traffic controllers to identify the aircraft and to maintain separation between planes. Another mode called Mode S (Mode Select) is designed to help avoiding over-interrogation of the transponder (having many radars in busy areas) and to allow automatic collision avoidance. Mode S transponders are backward compatible with Modes A and C. Mode S
