Conduent implements I-64 Hampton Roads Express Lanes tolling for VDOT

Conduent Transportatio announced the implementation of an Express Lanes tolling system in Virginia. The system, which went live March 17 on a segment of the I-64 Hampton Roads Express Lanes, was designed by Conduent as part of a 2021 contract from the Virginia Department of Transportation VDOT . Conduent will operate and maintain an innovative and completely overhead vehicle classification system, a traffic responsive dynamic pricing system and an automated license plate recognition system, as well as conduct license plate image reviews for VDOT. These technologies and services are designed to help improve traffic flow and relieve congestion for motorists and passengers. To enable dynamic pricing, VDOT will use data analytics to determine toll rates based on the volume of traffic during different times of the day, helping reduce overall travel times and enhance predictability and mobility choices for motorists. The lanes remain free for vehicles with two or more occupants using a required E-ZPass Flex transponder.
