• Over 100 North American toll authorities in 35 States

• Several new authorities being planned• More than $10 Billion collected annually in

North America– $7.3 Billion collected by the E-ZPass Group

(Northeast)– $1 Billion collected by Florida Turnpikes– $1 Billion collected by Texas Turnpikes

From Stop & Go to Free FlowFrom Stop & Go to Free FlowTolling EvolutionTolling Evolution

• A memory of the past (1980’S)– Toll booths (cash collection with gate arms)

• The ultimate interoperability scheme

• Harnessing RFID technology (1990’S)– Open Road Tolling (ORT)

• Toll booths with separated highway speed toll collection

From Stop & Go to Free FlowFrom Stop & Go to Free FlowTolling EvolutionTolling Evolution

• Positioning for the future (Now!)– All Electronic Tolling (AET)

• Highway speed tolls…no roadside cash collection

• Use multi-protocol reader to read different transponders

• Uses video for billing and violation enforcement

• Provides backbone for other pay-as-you go applications, e.g. VMT, Parking

Multi-Protocol TechnologyMulti-Protocol TechnologyNew and Improved Business ModelNew and Improved Business Model

• Multi-protocol readers can read different transponders (RFID) at highway speeds– Several agencies are installing multi-protocol

readers• Creating new business agreements with multiple

agencies

• Does not require changing RFID technology• New Form Factors Offer New Opportunities

Image-based TollingImage-based TollingNew and Improved Business ModelNew and Improved Business Model

• Image-based tolling is key to interoperability– Bill from license plate image

• Bill users without transponders• Can eliminate cash collection• Augments incompatible electronic devices

– Once a violator, now a customer– Increased reliance on accurate MVA databases– Cash customers still have option to pay cash

Transponders DeployedRegional Networks

• Cost of converting to a single technology is enormous– Over 50 million customers use transponders

• $500 million for transponder replacement– Cost of changing roadside and back office systems

• Estimated $2 billion or more

InteroperabilityInteroperabilityThe Common DenominatorThe Common Denominator

• Solution without adapting to one technology– Provides reliable vehicle identification by combining RFID

transponders, multi-protocol readers and ALPR Technologies

• Next Step: Provide a system for information exchange

• Use shared customer data for billing outside “home territory”

• Toll industry needs:– Improved access to vehicle registration

information– Continued coordination with American

Association of Motor Vehicles (AAMVA) and state and provincial MVAs
