TransCore Toll Collection Systems

TransCore's experience in toll collection dates back to the 1930's when we were hired to maintain the Pennsylvania Turnpike's communications equipment and supplied lane equipment for the Holland Tunnel in New York. A lot has changed over the years including the strength of our capabilities. TransCore now stands as the dominant system and service provider in the toll industry. Our customers account for more than 60% of the toll transactions in the United States and we maintain 65% of the lanes of toll equipment in the United States. TransCore is truly the leading provider of toll systems supplying AVI technology and/or the design, integration, or maintenance services in nearly 7400 lanes worldwide, including 60% of the toll lanes in the U.S.

The entire ITS industry has undergone dramatic changes over the years, and it continues to evolve as new technologies become available. When TransCore entered the toll collection field, the collection of tolls was done manually. Today a full range of solutions is available from manual to automatic coin machines (ACMs) to electronic toll collection (ETC) for traditional and for high occupancy tolling.

Automatic coin machines (ACMs) allow a driver to pay his toll by throwing exact change into a basket while electronic toll collection (ETC) enables drivers equipped with radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders or tags (a device about the size of a credit card) to automatically pay tolls without stopping at a tollbooth.

Benefits of ETC include:

• Increases patron convenience and safety with nonstop payment
• Improves traffic flow/reduces commute times
• Reduces traffic congestion
• Reduces emissions that are a major cause of pollution
• Reduces need for new roads
• Reduces operating costs for toll operators
• Provides proven reliability and unparalleled accuracy
