TransCore serves as the lead integrator on the Delaware Department of Transportation’s (DelDOT) conversion of the Newark Toll Plaza on I-95, adding two new electronic highway speed lanes on both the north and south bound plazas in an effort to reduce congestion in a busy corridor for motorists and commercial freight carriers.

Plaza throughput will jump from 250-300 transactions per lane per hour to an estimated 2,000. The $32 million “shovel ready” project was fully funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

Working around the clock, A-Del Construction, the prime contractor on the project, TransCore, and the I-95 toll plaza team beat the projected 479 calendar day delivery schedule by more than a month.

“Meeting DelDOT’s accelerated schedule requirements and technical specifications on such a crucial project reinforce the value of TransCore’s experienced engineering team,” commented Bob Ball, TransCore’s ITS Group managing director for the Eastern Region. “Deploying our Infinity technology with its streamlined modular design and ease of installation, saved a tremendous amount of time and helped us come in ahead of schedule and on budget.”

The installation was part of a complete plaza reconstruction where the existing 20-lane conventional plaza was converted to a 14-lane (seven northbound and seven southbound) and two open road tolling lanes, all while minimizing the interruption to existing traffic.

Working with DelDOT for more than two decades, TransCore has maintained their in-lane hardware and communications equipment for DelDOT’s attended lane subsystems since 1989, and later in 2004 engineered the hardware/software for their first open road toll (ORT) installation. In 2006, TransCore developed and integrated a second ORT subsystem.
