CS Communication & Systèmes has announced a name change for its Intrans Group business, a specialist in the design, supply and maintenance of high performance toll systems established in the US since 1979, to CS America. From its headquarters in Port Washington, New York, the newly named business will continue to deploy its global strategy to the US market and provide cost effective free flow and all electronic tolling (ETC) systems as well as fully integrated back-office and performing enforcement solutions.

As a first success under the new name, Secure Interagency Flow, the joint venture formed between CS America and 2376 EGIS Projects, has been appointed as one of the industry players developing the pilot platform of an interoperability hub for the Alliance for Toll Interoperability (ATI) project.

This Alliance, an organisation of more than 40 toll road operators, has taken a major step towards providing a seamless option for travel between North American Toll facilities by creating a clearing house that will provide customers of toll, transit, parking and ferries the ability to utilize one ‘transportation account’ to pay for their services. The opportunity to incorporate additional payment options for services such as fast food and car washes could be close behind.

According to J.J. Eden, president and CEO, of ATI, "This system, when fully deployed will bridge the current gap between existing technologies allowing the use of windshield mounted and keychain transponders, swipe cards, license plate readers and GPS, as well as cell phone applications for customer payments through one account.”
