729 Schneider Electric has been selected by the North East Texas Regional Mobility Authority (NETRMA) to install and operate its open road tolling (ORT) solution for Texas Toll Loop 49, acting as NETRMA’s tolling system integrator.

Schneider Electric will install advanced tolling software and hardware including cameras, image capture and toll tag identification software and other maintenance equipment that will detect and classify vehicles at highway speeds.  The system will enable travellers to pass through gateless tolls designed to capture information as each vehicle enters and passes through the tolling zone without stopping or slowing down.

The solution will provide real-time monitoring of NETRMA’s tolling network sensors and components of Loop 49, ensuring consistency and accuracy of each toll collected through Schneider Electric’s SmartMobility remote operations and maintenance monitoring tool (ROMS).

According to Ignacio González, executive vice president, Smart Infrastructure, Schneider Electric, “We are excited to take on the Loop 49 project. NETRMA has been a leader in the tolling industry and continues to make maximising efficiency a priority for its travellers, and the ORT solution is ideal for carrying out this goal.”
