Toll Terminal


The toll terminal shown here was designed and built to function as a "button box" for manual toll collection systems. It features an embedded controller mounted in a stainless steel housing secured by an Illinois Lock.

Five classes of vehicles are used for classification as well as "Enter" and "Receipt" buttons. The five class buttons are illuminated when pressed to assist the collector. The link to the lane controller is via a 6-pin connector located on the back of the terminal. The protocol used is parallel digital I/O.
