1.Travelers
that have been ridematched turn on their D-RIDE applications (devices and in-vehicle) while en route.
2.The
travelers enter into an HOV 2+ lane with their D-RIDE applications still on. These applications emit a unique identifier
code that is linked to individual
passengers and the driver. This code is sent to the D-RIDE Data Center to process to location of the previously
matched travelers which the
system recognizes as paired.
3.Using
GPS location information from the travelers’ D-RIDE applications, the center recognizes that the travelers have entered an
HOV 3+ zone. With only 2
travelers known to the center to be in the ridematch, the center sends a message to the traffic tolling and
enforcement center.
