MassDOT Is Ready for Scofflaws with New Raytheon AET System

MassLive.com reports, “Across the country people have tried all sorts of ways to trick all-electronic tolling technology from capturing their license plates in order to avoid paying a toll, but officials in Massachusetts said the tricks aren’t new and the technology is ready to catch the scofflaws.” The report adds that MassDOT’s new Raytheon toll collection system “is able to take color pictures of vehicles and track the make and model of the car if it goes through the tolls without a transponder. The system, according to Raytheon, can even read bent or illegible license plates with some human help.”
