The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) has awarded 139 TransCore a US$85 million project to design, install and maintain a new, innovative electronic toll collection system for over 300 toll lanes, as part of an ongoing initiative to improve its transportation management system.

TransCore will upgrade the system with its Infinity Digital Lane System, which consists of independent modules that can be easily replaced, upgraded or removed in the field without affecting lane operations, reducing long-term maintenance costs.

As part of the technology upgrade, TransCore will integrate its advanced vehicle classification and identification systems combined with a digital video audit module to enhance the system’s precision and auditability.

TransCore will also establish a maintenance monitoring centre that tracks system performance in real time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This online maintenance and inventory control system has the ability to monitor, respond to and prevent equipment issues before they occur.

The multi-phased toll system upgrade is scheduled to be completed in 2018 with minimal impact to expressway users. It is expected to improve the accuracy and reliability of the system used to collect and manage toll transactions that occur at 86 toll plazas and along 109 miles of expressways throughout the metro-Orlando area.

“We fully support the Central Florida Expressway Authority’s goals to provide a system that can easily adapt to the growing needs of one of the country’s most popular destinations,” said Jim Wilson, TransCore’s senior vice president and project principal.
