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.
