What is the occupancy detection technology and has it been used on other highway projects?
Planning efforts for the occupancy detection technology are underway. Our research indicates that near infrared technology is the most promising technology for occupancy counting, as it is able to sense the presence of a human being. The particular device we are anticipating using has been tested in the U.K. and is being seriously considered by other highway projects in the United States. This technology is similar to that which is used at many retail or grocery stores to automatically open doors. We are confident that this technology will be effective in aiding law enforcement officers, who will have ultimate determination of HOT lane violators. Protecting customer privacy will be paramount in the deployment of all enforcement strategies.
