PROSPECTS FOR NON-STOP TOLL COLLECTION USING AUTOMATIC VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION

There are two broad parts to a fully automatic toll collection system: (1) a means to identify and uniquely record vehicles automatically as they are moving and (2) a means to confirm which vehicles are entitled to pass through the toll plaza without stopping, and to adjust their accounts reflecting the use they are then making of the toll facility. Without the first part of this system, there has been little point in developing the second part. But now, it appears the first part of the system has been developed to the point where it will meet the performance needs of toll agencies, and work appears justified now to complete the entitlement checking and account maintenance part of the overall AVI-based toll collection system. This article reviews first the development and characteristics of the identification part or the system, then discusses the vehicle confirmation and accounting system segment. (Author)
