WASHINGTON, D.C.: Audi of America will expand its vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technology offering with the launch of a vehicle-integrated toll payment technology on select vehicles later this year.
The Integrated Toll Module (ITM) is a toll transponder built into the vehicle's rearview mirror, allowing drivers to access toll roads in the United States and in parts of Canada and Mexico. It's not unlike the built-in toll-card reader in the latest Perodua Myvi that is a simplified system compared to the ITM.
For Audi owners, ITM provides an added layer of convenience and aesthetic enhancement. The mirror-based toll payment solution gives convenient access to the country’s toll roads while helping to eliminate windscreen clutter and the need to manage multiple toll accounts. Drivers will be able to adjust module settings through the vehicle’s MMI – including turning the ITM on/off and changing the occupant settings for HOV/HOT lanes (high occupancy toll lanes).
The ITM was developed for Audi by Gentex Corporation, which supplies automatic-dimming mirrors for all Audi vehicles. The ITM technology is compatible with existing tolling agencies in the United States and can be registered with a driver’s current account, new account, or a nationwide tolling account.
