Organization and Basis of Presentation [Abstract]	'
Organization and Basis of Presentation	'
	Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
		A.	Description of business
	On Track Innovations Ltd. (the "Company") was founded in 1990, in Israel. The Company and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") are principally engaged in the field of design and development of cashless payment solutions. The Company's shares are listed for trading on NASDAQ.
		B.	Interim Unaudited Financial Information
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
	Use of Estimates:
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, expenses and accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) that are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events, historical experience, actions that the Company may undertake in the future and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. As a result, actual results may be different from these estimates.
		C.	Divestiture of operations:
	In December 2013, the Company completed the sale of certain assets, subsidiaries and intellectual property ("IP") relating to its Smart ID division. Accordingly the results and the cash flows of this operation for all reporting periods are presented in the statements of operations and in the statements of cash flows, respectively, as discontinued operations separately from continuing operations.
	In February 2014, the Company signed a final agreement to sell its wholly owned German subsidiary, Intercard System Electronics GmbH ( "Intercard"), for a total purchase price of EURO 700 (approx. $960) and an additional immaterial contingent consideration based on future sales (the "German Subsidiary Divesture"). Accordingly, the results and the cash flows of this operation for all reporting periods are presented in the statements of operations and in the statements of cash flows, respectively, as discontinued operations separately from continuing operations. The Company recorded a loss from this divesture, including transaction costs, in the amount of $343 and profit in the amount of $336 due to transfer of Intercard's accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments from other comprehensive loss to the statement of operations (see also note 7).
	All comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.  ASU 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward.  ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014.  The new standard is to be applied prospectively but retrospective application is permitted.  The Company will implement the provisions of ASU 2013-11 as of January 1, 2015, and the implementation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

		A.	Legal claims
	On January 27, 2013, a former employee of the Company (in this paragraph, the "Plaintiff"), filed a lawsuit against the Company in the District Labor Court in Tel Aviv (the "Court") in the amount of NIS 1,400 (approximately $375). The plaintiff alleges that the Company breached its employment agreement with him, and that the Company owes him commission payments for certain sales. On March 2, 2014, the parties filed a settlement agreement with the Court according to which the parties released each other from their respective claims and counter claims, which was approved by the Court on March 4, 2014.
	On October 3, 2013 the Company received from the Commercial Court of Paris, France (in this paragraph, the "Court") notification that a French company named SMJ PARK'IN SARL (in this paragraph the "Plaintiff") submitted on June 2013 a monetary claim against the Company and its French subsidiary, Parx France (in this paragraph the "Defendants"), alleging, among other things, that the Defendants entered in mid-2008 into an agreement with the Plaintiff granting it the exclusive marketing rights to distribute and operate the Defendants' PIAF Parking System in Paris and ILE the France, and that the Defendants failed to fulfill their undertakings under such alleged agreement, by marketing their products by themselves or others causing the Plaintiff losses that it requires compensation for in its lawsuit. The total claim amount made by Plaintiff under this action is approximately €1,500 (approximately $2,000). The Company rejects all of the Plaintiff's allegations and claims, including the alleged agreement and the then exclusive right of the Plaintiff to distribute the Company's products, which right was only in negotiation during the relevant time. Following a preliminary hearing held by the Court on December 2013, the Defendants are expected to submit their detailed defense to the Court by end of May 2014. Based on the advice of counsel, management believes that the Company had no obligation to the Plaintiff. Accordingly, no provision has been made in the Company's financial statements for the claim.
		B.	Guarantees
	As of March 31, 2014, the Company granted guarantees to third parties including performance guarantees and guarantees to secure customer advances in the sum of $1,104.
	The expiration dates of the guarantees range from May 2014 to May 2016.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]	'
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Note 8 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term interest bearing investments, accounts receivable, restricted deposits for employee benefits, accounts payable and short-term and long-term loans.
	Fair value for the measurement of financial assets and liabilities is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company utilizes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs for fair value measurement. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
		·	Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
		·	Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
		·	Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.
	By distinguishing between inputs that are observable in the market place, and therefore more objective, and those that are unobservable and therefore more subjective, the hierarchy is designed to indicate the relative reliability of the fair value measurements. A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	The Company, in estimating fair value for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits in banks, trade receivables, short-term bank credit and trade payables are equivalent to, or approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
	The fair value of the investment securities is based on quoted market prices and thus is based on level 1 inputs.
	The fair value of the liability in respect of the contingent consideration included in business combinations (see note 1C(2) in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013) is based on discounted future expected sales and thus is based on level 3 inputs. The liability was determined to be insignificant.
	The carrying amounts of variable interest rate long-term loans are equivalent or approximate to their fair value as they bear interest at approximate market rates. At March 31, 2014, fair value of bank loans with fixed interest rates did not differ materially from the carrying amount.
	As of March 31, 2014, the Company held approximately $4,084 of short-term bank deposits (as of December 31, 2013, $ 2,601). Short-term deposits in the amount of $1,868 have been pledged as security in respect of guarantees granted to third parties, loans and credit lines received from a bank (as of December 31, 2013 - $ 2,381) and cannot be pledged to others or withdrawn without the consent of the bank.
	As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no investment securities were held by the Company.

	Note 9 - Operating segments
	For the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance in order to improve profitability, the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") examines three segments which are the Company's strategic business units: Retail and Mass Transit, Petroleum and Parking. In addition to its three reportable segments, certain products for the medical industry and other secure smart card solutions are classified under "Other".
	The strategic business unit's allocation of resources and evaluation of performance are managed separately. The CODM does not examine assets or liabilities for those segments and therefore they are not presented.

	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.  ASU 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward.  ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014.  The new standard is to be applied prospectively but retrospective application is permitted.  The Company will implement the provisions of ASU 2013-11 as of January 1, 2015, and the implementation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
