Blissway

Roadside toll collection via WAL-Es

Overview

Blissway uses small roadside devices called Wireless Autonomous Lane Enforcers (WAL-Es) paired with cloud data analytics to identify, track, and toll vehicles without traditional gantries. WAL-Es collect vehicle data from the roadside and feed it to the cloud, where multi-lane tolling, vehicle classification, and occupancy verification for express and HOV lanes are managed, with interim tolling and disaster recovery for continuity. Unlike systems that rely on windshield transponders and gantries, Blissway moves toll monitoring off the road into scalable cloud-powered processing. The goal is to provide a reliable, scalable tolling and traffic-management system for highway operators and government agencies, supported by ongoing service, maintenance, and data analysis revenues.
