2021 contract
Conduent to maintain flexible, dynamic pricing and conduct license plate image reviews, helping to improve the flow of traffic and relieve congestion for VDOT
Conduent Transportation, a global provider of smart mobility technology solutions and business unit of Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), today announced the implementation of an Express Lanes tolling system in Virginia. The system, which went live March 17 on a segment of the I-64 Hampton Roads Express Lanes , was designed by Conduent as part of a 2021 contract from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
Conduent will operate and maintain an innovative and completely overhead vehicle classification system, a traffic-responsive dynamic pricing system and an automated license plate recognition system, as well as conduct license plate image reviews for VDOT. These technologies and services are designed to help improve traffic flow and relieve congestion for motorists and passengers.
To enable dynamic pricing, VDOT will use data analytics to determine toll rates based on the volume of traffic during different times of the day, helping reduce overall travel times and enhance predictability and mobility choices for motorists. The lanes remain free for vehicles with two or more occupants using a required E-ZPass Flex transponder.
“It’s exciting to offer our clients the latest innovations in tolling technology that greatly enhance the roadway experience for motorists, from an overhead vehicle classification system to the ease of booth-less electronic payment – all enabling reduced congestion and faster journeys,” said Adam Appleby, President, Transportation Solutions at Conduent. “Our tolling solutions also improve operational efficiency, accuracy and customer service for transportation and tolling authorities. As a leader in road usage charging, Conduent continues to identify new solutions to transform mobility.”
This segment on I-64, located in Chesapeake and Norfolk, is the first of four segments that will be implemented with the new system. The segments will ultimately become a part of a continuous 45-mile Express Lanes network on the corridor. VDOT also has the option under the contract to implement a vehicle occupancy detection system in the future, which would use camera systems and video analytics to identify the number of occupants in a vehicle.
Conduent Transportation is a leading provider of streamlined, high-volume mobility services and solutions, spanning road usage charging and advanced transit systems, that enhance the services provided by transportation agencies to benefit the citizens who use them. For over 50 years, the company has helped clients advance transportation solutions in more than 20 countries.
