TM10-Electronic Toll Collection: TxDOT Houston

Status: Existing

Description

The Electronic Toll Collection service package provides toll operators with the ability to collect tolls electronically and detect and process violations. The fees that are collected may be adjusted to implement demand management strategies. Field–Vehicle Communication between the roadway equipment and the vehicle is required as well as Fixed Point–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.
