New Smart Method of contactless payment in HOV lanes (High Ocuppancy Vehicles)

Summary of the technology

The whole method is embedded into an smartphone App. The method considers two options: Computing the total cost independently of the entry point and computing the total cost depending of the entry point. The method allows user authentification into a certification authority. Pre-paid cards can be used to buy credit.
