Innovating Virginia's Highways: Indra Leads Private Sector Breakthrough on I-66

Indra's implementation of all-overhead tolling and traffic technology at the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway project, a major transportation corridor in Northern Virginia, has significantly advanced the tolling industry, exemplifying innovation and excellence. Managed by I-66 Express Mobility Partners LLC, this first-of-its-kind tolling solution utilizes LiDAR for dimensions-based classification and Video AI for axle-based classification, all integrated into an advanced smart-road system. Going live ahead of schedule in November 2022, it has drastically improved traffic flow along this critical commuter route, reducing travel times by 54% in the express lanes. The project sets a new standard for tolling systems globally, with its innovative use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology and holistic approach, including video-based occupancy detection, providing a blueprint for future implementations.
