Know it well and do it well
Having roots in building and operating tollways makes us uniquely qualified to develop the next generation tolling solutions. UTS solutions are not simply the result of superior in-lane hardware and custom software, but stem from our intimate knowledge of the requirements and business challenges in tolling and our proven ability to deliver for our customers. The industry classifies UTS as an integrator. We see ourselves as a strategic partner and complete solutions provider solving each customer’s unique business challenges, such as:
- supporting general contractors with tollway
construction designs - Presenting specialized user training
- Funding transportation bonds
- Providing 24/7/365 remote monitoring and maintenance
Our talented professionals with diverse knowledge and skills drawn from outside the tolling industry solve issues facing tolling with a fresh perspective. We work with specialists in engineering, computer science, physics, information systems, management, and finance.
Exclusive Partnering
We select global manufacturing and fabricating partners the same way. Exclusivity agreements with our partners allow UTS to manage inventory responsively, control product pricing and overall quality of highly specialized hardware components. The tolling industry is changing. Today technology, funding, operations, and public opinions are all influencing tolling decisions.
UTS invests millions of dollars in research and development of tolling solutions, leading to products such as our patented Intelligent Vehicle Identification System (IVIS), superior image capture quality of the Vehicle Enforcement System (VES), dedicated remote monitoring and maintenance facility, and the highly-customizable toll management software suite
Innovation and Patents
