Research abstract
A HIGHWAY-SPEED TOLL-COLLECTION SYSTEM IS PROPOSED. THIS SYSTEM, CALLED EXPRESSTAG(TM), USES AN INNOVATIVE RADIO TAG THAT COMMUNICATES WITH A STATIONARY ROAD INTERROGATOR TO IDENTIFY THE PASSING OF TAGGED VEHICLES AT SPEEDS UP TO 120 MPH. UNIQUE TO EXPRESSTAG IS A PROPRIETARY COMMUNICATIONS TECHNIQUE WHICH GUARANTEES A HIGHER LEVEL OF DATA CONFIDENCEOVER ANY OTHER AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM. EXPRESSTAG IS INEXPENSIVE, SIMPLE TO USE AND OFFERS SUBSTANTIAL TIME AND DOLLAR SAVINGS TO THE TRAVELLER AS WELL AS THE COLLECTION AUTHORITIES.
