Abstract

An E-PASS system that identifies a vehicle equipped with a valid encoded data tag or transponder as it moves through a toll lane is installed in Orlando, USA. The system then posts a debit to the patron's account without requiring the vehicle to stop for the transaction. ETC provides more convenience for customers, increased proocessing rates and reduced congestion pricing. The drivers unfamiliarity with the E-PASS system and the plaza configuration increased the system crashes. Advanced signing to inform drivers which lane to use for specific methods of toll collection is a useful tool in providing more organized traffic flow through the plaza.
