LocoMobi Awarded Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge to Deploy Payment and Control Applications
Toronto, ON, January 19, 2017 (Newswire.com) - LocoMobi is very pleased to announce its further entry into the integrated smart city transportation ecosystem. Already the leader in cloud ecosystems for parking, LocoMobi’s plan is to have a fully integrated transportation system for parking, tolling and transit, creating an infrastructure that allows people and cars to move easily from city to city.
The Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge serves over 14 million customers per year. LocoMobi’s world-leading license plate recognition technology will be the backbone of the new payment system, so that each vehicle is processed and easily tracked in real-time for revenue control purposes. LocoMobi’s system will allow for a variety of innovative payment options including credit/debit/pin/chip card payment as well mobile and Tap-and-Go payment.
“When we were winners of the Smart City Competition in China we knew that we were on the right track,” says Grant Furlane, President, CEO & Co-founder of LocoMobi. “Having a more flexible and secure system benefits both owner and users.”
LocoMobi is executing quickly in the rapidly emerging market for electronic tolling systems and smart city infrastructure. The company plans to introduce its highly tested and proven transit system by end of year and will be the first to have the ability to manage and meet demands of the consumer by moving them seamlessly through the ecosystem of transportation.
