)
Spanning three major metropolitan areas, the contracts include:
- Transurban’s 95, 395, and Capital Beltway (495) express lanes near Washington, DC
- E-470 Public Highway Authority’s toll road on Denver’s eastern perimeter
- Cintra’s Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) Express and North Tarrant Express Lanes in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex
Q-Free reports that its ATMS platform is the first that integrates all ITS devices into a single decision-making dashboard across freeways, toll roads, and arterials, eliminating the need for patchwork solutions.
The Transurban deployment on the 95, 395, and 495 express lanes near Washington, DC, is currently underway and will be the first deployment of Kinetic Mobility on a toll road in the US.
The 95/395 Express Lanes are reportedly the longest reversible road in the United States, with the contract awarded for 12 years.
It includes the deployment and maintenance of Kinetic Mobility, covering more than 65 miles of roads with 298 gates, 22 gantries, and 349 detection points.
President, Transurban North America, Beau Memory said: “Streamlining our tolling systems help us better serve our customers, enabling faster, more reliable trips for travelers in Northern Virginia.
“Innovative solutions are one way we keep traffic moving and connect people, places, and progress.”
