Abstract: A system and method associate a transponder identifier with a transient user account. The account is automatically activated and vehicle license plate information from the transient user's vehicle is automatically associated upon departure of the transient user from a vehicle departure point of a transportation hub. Toll charges incurred by the vehicle can then be associated with the transient user's account based on either reading the transponder identifier or capturing the license plate information. The account is automatically deactivated and closed-out upon return of the vehicle to a vehicle return point at the end of the transient use.

Abstract: A wrong way vehicle detection system may include a warning station, a communications device and a controller to operate a forward facing movement sensor at the warning station to detect a wrong way vehicle on the roadway, and responsive to the detection of the wrong way vehicle on the roadway by the forward facing movement sensor, activate at least one flashing beacon and operate a rear facing movement sensor at the warning station to detect movement of the wrong way vehicle beyond the warning station. The controller may also, responsive to detection of the wrong way vehicle moving beyond the warning station, send a wrong way vehicle detection alert via the communications device. The system may further include a navigation server to receive the wrong way vehicle detection alert and send a wrong way driver warning to a mobile wireless communications device(s) within a geographic boundary of the warning station.

Abstract: A wrong way vehicle detection system may include a warning station positioned along a roadway including a wrong way indication sign, a flashing beacon(s), a forward facing movement sensor facing away from the direction of oncoming traffic, and a rear facing movement sensor. A communications device and a controller may also be included, and the controller may be configured to operate the forward facing sensor to detect a wrong way vehicle on the roadway, and responsive to the detection activate the at least one flashing beacon and operate the rear facing movement sensor to detect movement of the wrong way vehicle beyond the at least one warning station. The controller may also be configured to, responsive to detection of the movement of the wrong way vehicle beyond the warning station, send a wrong way vehicle detection alert to an operations center via the communications device.
