The city of Laredo has selected TransCore to provide a comprehensive upgrade to the toll collection system on its four international bridges that connect the US and Mexico. Each year, more than 6.7 million vehicles and three million pedestrians cross the Gateway to the Americas, the Juarez-Lincoln International, the Colombia Solidarity and the World Trade bridges. The three-year project, which will be completed in 2018, upgrades both the electronic and cash payment toll collection systems.
 
TransCore will also upgrade automatic weigh-in-motion technology for commercial vehicles traversing the Colombia Solidarity and World Trade bridges. The new weigh-in-motion subsystem will provide greater accuracy, while reducing existing maintenance costs, and eliminating the need for truckers to stop to be inspected if weights are below the specified limits.
 
The project will also include development of a self-service payment station at each non-commercial customer service center, while updating the existing back office customer service center system.
 
“Laredo being the no. 1 inland port and the no. 3 customs district in the US and with the steady growth in traffic, this upgrade will prepare our electronic toll collection system for the next 10 to 15 years” said Mario Maldonado, bridge manager, city of Laredo.
 
TransCore developed and installed the original toll collection system starting in 1998. The new toll collection system will accommodate future expansions and is based on the Infinity Digital Lane System technology. Featuring vehicle classification, dual currency support, and video capture, Infinity technology is specifically designed to automatically and accurately collect transactions in high-volume traffic across a wide variety of traffic speeds and patterns.
