THE INTEROPERABILITY LANDSCAPE<br />
IN THE UNITED STATES<br />

KEY DATES IN U.S. INTEROPERABILITY<br />
1988 – First electronic toll<strong>in</strong>g - Dallas North<br />
Tollway<br />
1990 – Formation of <strong>the</strong> “Inter-Agency Group”<br />
(IAG) <strong>in</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>astern U.S.<br />
1992 – First “at-speed” ETC express lanes –<br />
Oklahoma Turnpike, followed by<br />
Georgia 400<br />
1995 – First “All-Electronic” toll facility opens<br />
– SR 91 HOT Lanes <strong>in</strong> California<br />
1998-2007 – Widespread adoption of ETC and<br />
implementation of at-speed express<br />
lanes throughout <strong>the</strong> country<br />
2007 – Alliance for Toll <strong>Interoperability</strong><br />
founded (sou<strong>the</strong>rn states)<br />

ETC – MIXED OR DEDICATED LANES<br />
(Toll Booth Geometry)<br />
ORT – HIGHWAY SPEED EXPRESS LANES<br />
(or Managed Lanes)<br />

THE IAG / E-Z PASS GROUP<br />
IAG KEY ELEMENTS<br />
• 24 Member agencies <strong>in</strong> 13 states,<br />
started <strong>in</strong> 1990<br />
• Nearly 15 million active transponders<br />
• Mark IV IVHS hard case transponders<br />
with “7-year” (non-replaceable) battery<br />
• Represents approximately half of all toll<br />
dollars collected <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> U.S.<br />
3
IAG – FUTURE PLANS<br />
• Currently develop<strong>in</strong>g RFP for “nextgeneration”<br />
technology<br />
• Several members evaluat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> move<br />
to All-Electronic Toll<strong>in</strong>g (AET or 100%<br />
transponder and video toll<strong>in</strong>g)<br />
MAJOR FLORIDA TOLL AGENCIES<br />

FLORIDA TRANSPONDERS<br />
Total<br />
• FL Turnpike System 2,500,000<br />
• OOCEA 480,000<br />
• Lee County 104,000<br />
• MDX & THEA <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> FTE<br />
FLORIDA – KEY ELEMENTS<br />
• Uses Transcore RFID transponders<br />
– Hard case versions with user replaceable<br />
batteries<br />
– “Sticker tag” version without battery<br />
• Florida agencies have <strong>in</strong>teroperability<br />
agreement and cost-shar<strong>in</strong>g agreement<br />
5
FLORIDA – FUTURE PLANS<br />
• Turnpike – currently <strong>in</strong> midst of toll<br />
system replacement project<br />
• MDX – “clos<strong>in</strong>g” system and<br />
convert<strong>in</strong>g to AET start<strong>in</strong>g 2010<br />
• THEA video toll<strong>in</strong>g experiment<br />
• Current plans stay with TransCore<br />
transponders, 915 MHz<br />
• <strong>Interoperability</strong> f<strong>in</strong>ancial arrangements<br />
under review by <strong>the</strong> agencies<br />

TEXAS KEY ELEMENTS<br />
• Currently all systems <strong>in</strong> Texas are<br />
<strong>in</strong>teroperable us<strong>in</strong>g Transcore<br />
transponders<br />
• Major CSC operations <strong>in</strong>-place by NTTA<br />
(Dallas), HCRTA (Houston) and TXDOT<br />
(Aust<strong>in</strong>)<br />

TEXAS – FUTURE PLANS<br />
• NTTA convert<strong>in</strong>g to AET by 2010<br />
• CTRMA facilities <strong>in</strong> Aust<strong>in</strong> area<br />
convert<strong>in</strong>g to AET<br />
• Several new agencies (RMA’s) may be<br />
open<strong>in</strong>g new toll roads as AET<br />

CALIFORNIA KEY ELEMENTS<br />
• All CA facilities <strong>in</strong>teroperable with<br />
each o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
• Use “Title 21” compliant tags –<br />
manufactured by Sirit and Transcore<br />

TITLE 21<br />
• Legislation passed <strong>in</strong> 1993 and<br />
amended <strong>in</strong> 1998<br />
• Key features<br />
– 915 MHz + 13 MHz<br />
– Open protocol and communications<br />
– Passive tags<br />
– Backscatter technology<br />
CALIFORNIA – FUTURE PLANS<br />
• BATA mov<strong>in</strong>g toward ORT<br />
• Use of tags at park<strong>in</strong>g facilities<br />
throughout State<br />
• Expansion of managed lanes – Los<br />
Angeles area and San Francisco Bay<br />
area<br />

THE ALLIANCE FOR TOLL<br />
INTEROPERABILITY (ATI)<br />

ATI’S MISSION<br />
• To promote and implement<br />
<strong>in</strong>teroperability between toll operators<br />
for <strong>the</strong> benefit of customers and<br />
agencies<br />
ATI’S GOALS AND OBJECTIVES<br />
• Extend toll<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>teroperability beyond today’s<br />
boundaries<br />
• Develop specification for license plate violation and<br />
video toll<strong>in</strong>g data exchange, get DMV’s and o<strong>the</strong>r key<br />
stakeholders <strong>in</strong>volved<br />
• Determ<strong>in</strong>e state legislation of ETC/DMV and shar<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>formation<br />
• Investigate RFID toll <strong>in</strong>teroperability<br />
• Consider future technology <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g 5.9 GHz DSRC<br />
(WiMax), GPS/Cellular, and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
• Evaluate cost effectiveness and efficiencies/controls<br />
12
ATI STAT<strong>US</strong><br />
• 19 toll agency members<br />
• Current chair J.J. Eden, NCTA<br />
• Stage 1 license plate based reciprocity<br />
specification is currently be<strong>in</strong>g<br />
developed to identify a plate’s “last<br />
known payer” (scheduled for release Feb. 2009)<br />
