ATM Network with ForeThought Enables Electronic Toll Collection
Overview Running 69 km through Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, Highway 407 serves the congested Toronto metropolitan area as the first public/private partnership highway project in the area’s history. To ease congestion caused by an estimated six million users each month and reduce pollution at the road’s 29 interchanges, the highway relies on an ATM-based system that eliminates toll collection booths by utilizing broadcast transponders and video imaging to record highway usage by individual vehicles. The data gathered by the system is relayed to central toll transaction processors, which forward pertinent information to a revenue management system (RMS) that calculates, creates and distributes bills to drivers’ homes, posts revenues to accounts and manages other related transactions. Marconi’s ability to provide an end-to-end networking solution was the key reason that Marconi was selected as the ATM technology supplier for the Highway 407 project.
