THROUGH TOLL [7 records]

Record 1 2024-02-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Telephony and Microwave Technology
  • IT Security
DEF

An individual who uses his knowledge of the telephone system to make calls at the expense of another.

CONT

In the latest twist of computer theft, "phone freaks" pride themselves on being able to break into the sophisticated telephone answering services used by a growing number of businesses around the world. Telephone saboteurs typically gain access to a company's toll free number or use access codes for long-distance telephone accounts that circulate through the computer "bulletin board" underground. Then, they try random combinations of numbers until they stumble upon the electronic "mailboxes" and the passwords that give a person access to them.

OBS

Contrast with "phracker".

OBS

Phreakers take advantage of free telephone numbers (800’ numbers) to gain access to secret digital switchboards which grant access to outside phone lines. They want to avoid paying phone bills rather that to corrupt data. (J.J. Manger, The Essential Internet Information Guide, Mc Graw-Hill, 1994, p. 342).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Transport Tolls and Rates
CONT

Imagine driving straight through an open road without needing to change lanes, stop your vehicle or even slow down to pay a toll. Imagine no more toll plazas or toll booths. Imagine a technology so advanced that the toll you pay is automatically calculated and deducted, paid instantly and accurately. Imagine paying only for the portion of the road you drive and everyone else doing the same. That's Open Road Tolling.

Record 3 2012-01-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Road Networks
  • Road Traffic
  • Transport Tolls and Rates
CONT

Express toll lanes are special lanes added to highways that allow motorists to pay their way out of traffic jams. Motorists in an express toll lane pay a fee that is automatically deducted through an electronic reader as their car or truck moves along at highway speeds, similar to the way E-ZPass works. The price would change with the degree of congestion, so that a premium is charged when the rest of the roadway is especially crowded but the toll drops as the highway empties.

OBS

express toll lane: term recommended by the Terminology Committee and standardized by the Validation Committee of the Sustainable Mobility Glossary.

French

Record 6 2003-07-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Highway Administration
  • Pricing (Road Transport)
DEF

An electronic fee collection system where cars are to pass through a tolling booth to pay or register the car fee.

OBS

In the late eighties and early nineties, first steps towards this so called electronic fee collection(EFC) have been undertaken. Existing toll operators are starting to equip some dedicated lanes for EFC. They still have the traffic channelled through the toll station i. e. a so called mono-lane EFC system. These mono-lane systems increase the requirements for classification and enforcement. Instead of optical classification by the toll collector, classification has to be done automatically.
