• 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.
