Electronic Toll collection allows operators with the ability to locally or centrally collect tolls electronically and detect and process violators. Real-time visibility of the collected fee patterns offer useful statistics with which highway authorities can effect demand management strategies.

Dedicated short-range communication between the roadway equipment and the vehicle is required as well as wireline interfaces between the toll collection equipment and transportation authorities and the financial infrastructure that supports fee collection.

Vehicle tags of toll violators are read and electronically posted to vehicle owners. Data can be collected as a natural by-product of the toll collection process or collected by separate readers to provide an audit trail.
