Scenario 3- Data Flows – Tolling
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 HOT 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 HOT 2+ zone. Recognizing the two travelers in the ridematch en route on the HOT @+ lane, the center sends a message to the Tolling and Enforcement Center that the vehicle can be charged $3.25.
4.The Tolling and Enforcement Center process the message and deducts $3.25 from the driver’s account through the driver’s e-tolling pass registered as part of their traveler profile information sent by the D-RIDE Data Center.
