US-based TransCore has been awarded a contract to design, build and maintain next-generation toll collection systems along the Dulles Toll Road in Virginia, US. 

The Dulles Toll Road is reported to be crucial as it provides connectivity from the Capital Beltway to Washington Dulles International Airport.

Under the contract, TransCore will be deploying its Infinity Digital Lane System, which has been designed and developed by the company to manage a wide-range of tolling operations.

The system has been selected for the Dulles Toll Road because of its stop-and-go and free-flow traffic capabilities.

The company further noted that its infinity system is capable of operating in any lane in cash, mixed, or all-electronic tolling (AET) mode without making any changes to the software or hardware, and will maximise toll operating agency’s operational flexibility and investment.

Recently, Transcore has been selected by the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDoT) to design, build, and maintain express toll lanes along the I-64 corridor in Hampton Roads, Virginia. 

VDOT awarded this contract to the company after it demonstrated its ability to meet fast-track tolling project schedules.

In addition to open road tolling and traffic management systems, TransCore also offers radio frequency identification systems used in the transportation industry. 

With its base in Nashville, Tennessee, TransCore is a subsidiary of Roper Technologies, a diversified technology company.
