Multi-talented
New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) together with ACS' Vector Express Tolling Solution, which uses the Idris AVC & AVI (vehicle to tag correlation) technology, have successfully completed a ‘first of type’ ORT environment at the Raritan plaza. The plaza consists of five running lanes with axle classification and two shoulder lanes in one direction. Raritan is thought to be the worlds largest multi-lane ORT plaza. Including Raritan, three plazas made up the ORT project. ACS’ Technology Centre, achieved the integration, implementation, testing and opening of all three in a period of less than a month.The whole project from construction to reality took less than 12 months, a feat made possible due to the innovative decisions of ACS to use technologies designed and developed to handle multi-lane environments. Less than one month was allocated for the implementation of the tolling system. ACS' testing schedule had to be compressed down to just 15 days, less than five days at each plaza. The ACS team along with assistance from DCS' Systems Engineer,Wendy Shafer, achieved the rigorous schedule of testing and ironing out any imperfections prior to the plazas opening. Even on this tight schedule they managed to establish operational and stable systems at the plazas upon opening. The plazas all meet their contract accuracy specifications levels of >99.5%.
