Indra will bring its connected vehicle tolling solution (C-V2X Toll) to the I-485 Express Lanes in North Carolina.
Indra stated that the introduction of this tolling technology will make the I-485 the first highway in the United States to integrate C-V2X tolling technology.
This will allow connected vehicles to receive tolling information directly through their in-vehicle systems, eliminating the need for mobile applications or additional devices.
The North Carolina Turnpike Authority (NCTA) has selected Indra to promote the toll payment system for connected vehicles equipped with V2X technology in the U.S.
Indra had previously tested this technology in the U.S. through its collaboration with Audi and Qualcomm Technologies.

Indra also stated that tolling in the US currently relies on multiple hubs which have not yet achieved nationwide interoperability.
This creates challenges for drivers traveling between states and for agencies managing customers across regions. Indra’s C-V2X tolling solution will enable true interoperability, delivering toll information and historical data directly to drivers’ dashboards.
The result is a simplified process and opportunities for added benefits for motorists in connected vehicles.
This initiative will also reuse tolling V2X infrastructure to enhance road safety.
By combining C-V2X with Indra’s advanced 3D LiDAR perception and processing technology, roadside sensors will analyse traffic conditions in real time.
Executive director of the NCTA, JJ Eden, said: “We are working with our partners to unleash the next generation of driving.
“This project will help us build a safer, more convenient transportation network that can support the future needs of drivers everywhere”.
