TransCore is in the midst of deploying more than 100 miles of express lanes throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex, as part of an initiative to increase mobility along the region’s busiest corridors. With 34 lanes already operational, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) plans to mark the 100-mile milestone by the end of 2018.
In 1998, TransCore deployed the country’s first dynamically-priced express lane system in San Diego, CA. As express lanes have become more prevalent throughout the United States and matured in the decades since, agencies are able to more rapidly deploy complex systems using a variety of proven dynamic pricing algorithms based on desired mobility objectives.
Today, TransCore express lane systems are installed on the largest and most innovative express lane projects in the nation, effectively providing motorists accurate mobility options in real time along more than 600 miles of express lanes throughout the states of California, Florida, Utah, Minnesota, Virginia, and Texas.
All DFW toll locations are equipped with TransCore’s Infinity∞ Digital Express Lane System, which consists of Encompass 6 readers that enable toll interoperability within the region and across the nation. They also include the Intelligent Vehicle Identification System to accurately classify vehicles, the Vehicle Capture and Recognition System to capture video images, and a dynamic pricing module that accounts for specific roadway geometries, traffic patterns, and operational business rules.
“The Texas Department of Transportation continues to utilize innovative solutions as a cost-effective way to improve regional travel times and expand mobility choices for drivers throughout a rapidly growing state,” said Whitt Hall, SVP of Tolling, TransCore.
