TM10-SANDAG Electronic Toll Collection
Status: Existing
Description
The SANDAG Electronic Toll Collection service package provides SANDAG with the ability to collect tolls electronically, and to detect and process violations. The fees collected may be adjusted to implement traffic demand management strategies. Field–to–Vehicle communication between the roadway equipment and the vehicle (including travel lanes and direct access ramps (DAR)) is required as well as Fixed Point–to–Fixed Point interfaces between the toll collection equipment and transportation authorities, and the financial infrastructure that supports fee collection. Toll violations are identified and electronically posted to vehicle owners. Standards, inter–agency coordination, and financial clearinghouse capabilities enable broad interoperability for these services.
