In the face of growing urban congestion and the high cost of creating new capacity on freeways, roadway authorities are considering new High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes or the conversion of existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) to HOT lanes to improve highway quality of service and to make the maximum use of existing highway infrastructure.

HOV lanes are those reserved for vehicles with a driver and one or more passengers in order to expand the throughput of the respective lane. HOT lanes are HOV lanes where single-occupancy vehicles (SOVs) can drive when they pay a toll.

Kapsch TrafficCom’s end-to-end HOT technology solution is designed to keep traffic flowing while ensuring the highest level of flexibility, accuracy and security using state-of-the-art open protocol based technologies.
