French company 7319 Egis has signed a contract with the US Alliance for Toll Interoperability (ATI) for the supply, implementation and operation of the nationwide interoperability hub for billing the tolls of inter-state motorists, based on licence plate camera reads and transponders.

Founded in 2009 to promote and implement interstate interoperability, the ATI has grown to include forty full members consisting of toll road operators from within the US and three affiliate members from Canada, Australia and New York. This is becoming increasingly important as electronic non-stop toll systems are being planned and implemented across the United States.

Egis and 480 Sanef are joint shareholders of Secure Interagency Flow (SIF), managers of the interoperability contract. Within this joint venture, Egis will focus on operating activities and sanef its America will supply the system.

The nationwide interoperability hub agreement includes add-on services such as financial reconciliation or dispute resolution, and paves the way for the future implementation of other services such as violation enforcement or licence plate data lookup.

Subscriptions open in October 2013 and first matching capabilities will be available by the end of the year. After an initial ramp-up phase of one year, the contract will last for another 5 years with possible further extensions.
