• 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.
