Tolling as a Service (TAAS) VeriToll has launched CrowdToll, a crowdsourced image review technology that aims to cut image review costs by more than half while achieving higher levels of accuracy and a quicker turnaround.

VeriToll is currently in the middle of its second pilot program with two more in the pipeline in order to fully validate its technology prior to an initial industry offering.

Leveraging the sharing economy as 8336 Uber, AirBNB and Etsy do, CrowdToll's crowdsourced reviewer pool exists 24/7 and has the potential to become an image reviewer for this near-unlimited pool. With the ability to scale resources, VeriToll claims the model provides a performance boost, allowing several additional review passes at a lower cost point, offering unlimited scalability, better performance and lower cost.

According to VeriToll CTO and co-founder Joseph Silva, the company’s first pilot validated the ability to process tens of thousands of images in under one hour by utilising hundreds of reviewers in one review channel.

VeriToll also says the system has the ability to support the toll enforcement mechanisms required for pay-to-drive mechanism such as GPS tolling and mileage-based user fees.

    Oregon tests new mileage-base charging scheme
    Jack Opiola from D’Artagnan Consulting LLP explains Oregon’s latest moves which mandated a trial of mileage-based road use charging. In 1919, Oregon made the 20th century’s most significant contribution to transportation funding policy, becoming the first state in America to implement a gas tax to pay for roads. This summer Oregon’s Legislature passed, and Governor John Kitzhaber signed into law, Senate Bill 810 which requires a distance-based road usage charge for 5,000 volunteer vehicles by 1 July 2015. T

    Evidence growing for distance-based charging
    The case is growing for an alternative to fuel taxation for funding highway infrastructure. A more sustainable system of mileage-based charging can be established in a way that is acceptable to the travelling public, writes Jack Opiola. Fuel tax - the lifeblood relied on for 80 years to maintain and improve roads and transit systems - is now in considerable jeopardy in the United States. Increased vehicle fuel efficiency and a poor economy already hamper generation of fuel tax revenue; now a recent federal
