Indra’s US subsidiary has been awarded a contract worth over 40 million euros (44 million dollars) by the US organisation CARTA (Capital Area Regional Toll Authority) to deploy its advanced free-flow tolling technology on the new Yolo 80 Express Lanes, a set of dynamic pricing lanes that will incorporate a toll express lane in each direction of the motorway linking the San Francisco Bay Area with Sacramento.
The company will be responsible for the design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning, warranty and maintenance of the toll solution and the automatic high-occupancy vehicle detection system (DAVAO) along the 27 kilometres of the Interstate 80 linking Davis and Sacramento, including the Yolo Causeway, a strategic corridor for travellers and commercial transport used by around 150,000 vehicles a day.
According to the Spanish multinational, this technology will enable dynamic lane management to increase capacity and improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, shorten journey times and enhance safety.
