Abstract:In December 2007, the N.Y.S. Thruway Authority (“Thruway”) concluded a Federal
funded research effort to study technology and develop a design for retrofitting
devices required in implementing a fully automated vehicle classification system in
Thruway toll plazas and barriers.
A project team consisting of representatives of all functional business areas affected
by this project was formed and research occurred under the guidance and direction of
a Steering Committee consisting of Executives from each major business area
(Finance, Operations/Maintenance, Engineering, Information Technology, Legal and
the Chief of Staff).
The research performed focused on technology available within the current market
and study of infrastructure to identify how the technology could be retrofit into the
Thruway’s toll plazas. The research successfully yielded selection of technology that
will provide a fully automated system that classifies vehicles according to the
Thruway’s toll structure. Additionally, the research team developed a highly efficient
design for incorporating the technology within the Thruway’s 50+ year old toll
infrastructure. The Key Findings section of this document details the positive results
of this research effort.
