Bias?

Negative, I am deeply involved in the installation and maintenance of the Houston AVI system. Won't go into too much detail, but I can assure you that in the AVI system, you truly are 'only a number'. The AVI system is not linked to the HCTRA Account database at all. (Please, TxDot and HCTRA Co-operate? I think hell would sooner freeze over...) And no, *I* am not a HCTRA Employee :) Believe it or not, TxDot is not pleased with the HCTRA Tag switch, as they do not read as well for the current AVI system without antenna and system upgrades. Overall AVI Tag reads have gone down a lot over the past year as the tag transition has been made.

Does anybody know if it's compatible with E-Zpass used in many other regions? Vasa2 03:47, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Negative, the EZ-Pass Tags, used mostly in the northeast, are a completely different tag system, working on different frequencies and with different communications protocols. The systems are non-interoperable.
