Toll Road Software: RoadView and RoadAudit
The RoadView suite of software tools is the result of Inex’s 30 years of expertise in developing video-based roadside toll zone systems. RoadView provides comprehensive transaction metrics including vehicle edge triggering, RFID association, shape-based classification, axle counting, and ALPR.
These core capabilities are also utilized in our new RoadAudit toll system audit tool, an independent solution designed to measure the effectiveness of primary toll collection systems or serve as a secondary off-channel disaster recovery means of toll collection. By comparing production data with RoadView transaction video clips, RoadAudit flags mismatched transactions for analysis and verification. Operating independently of existing road sensors, RoadAudit ensures accurate and objective audit analysis, enhancing the reliability of toll collection.
RoadView – Video-Based Roadside Toll Zone System
RoadView is an AI-based software suite designed to provide essential functionality for Tolling Video Enforcement Systems (VES). Fully video-based, RoadView supports various tolling installation scenarios, including ORT and side-fire.
Key Features:
Automatic vehicle detection
Vehicle counting
Vehicle classification
Vehicle tracking within toll zone
Triggering support of INEX ALPR cameras
Video-based axle counting
Fully video-based lane monitoring
Integrated Digital Video Auditing System (DVAS).
Additional ITS Metrics:
Traffic volume measurement
Traffic speed statistics
Wrong-way driver detection
Stopped vehicle detection and notification
Toll zone accident detection and notification
Vehicle dimensions.
Video-based information processing eliminates the need for expensive concrete cutting, in-ground loop maintenance, and axle counting treadles. The system seamlessly supports existing video cameras and integrates additional Inex cameras, delivering a comprehensive solution for a toll zone Vehicle Enforcement System (VES) infrastructure.
The RoadView system is highly modular and portable. Inex has implemented RoadView for different hardware platforms and toll road solution architectures. The actual ALPR recognition is performed on the edge by Inex cameras such as IZA800GRV. The RoadView configuration provides intuitive web-based for system and lanes setup. The RoadView system API is HTTP/JSON based to send the data and images.
RoadView delivers a comprehensive, fully integrated solution for modern tolling needs, ensuring accurate and efficient operation.
RoadAudit – Toll System Audit Tool
RoadAudit is a suite of hardware and software components providing independent auding functionality for Tolling Video Enforcement System (VES) operations.
RoadAudit consists of these components:
RoadView video-based enforcement System equipped with Inex ALPR cameras provides comprehensive vehicle event information independently from the primary toll collection system by performing:
Vehicle detection
Vehicle classification
Axle count
License plate reading.
