The vendor is required to provide from qualified vendors and technology providers regarding the implementation of a minimal infrastructure toll collection system.
- Primary objectives:
• Vehicle detection: achieve near-perfect detection accuracy under all traffic conditions.
• Classification: describe classification of vehicles, including multi-axle configurations, shape based (if applicable).
• License plate capture: provide reliable license plate recognition, even at high speeds and under varying conditions.
• Future-proofing tolling infrastructure: as connected vehicle technology (v2x) continues to evolve this objective would be to plan for moving away from paying for tolls with physical transponders.
• Minimal roadside footprint via centralized cloud processing.
- Secondary objectives:
• Minimize infrastructure dependency by avoiding the need for overhead construction and leveraging ground-based or roadside technologies.
• Reduce reliance on traditional services such as fiber internet and main power by integrating wireless communication and renewable energy solutions.
• Offer optional integration with AVI systems to ensure compatibility with existing technologies while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
• Use of AI and ML for improved analytics issue detection, reliability and accuracy.
• Use of Ai and ML and video analytics for safety use cases, including but not limited to, wrong-way vehicle detection and notification, pedestrians, stopped vehicles, etc.
