Art Penn Speaks at the National Travel Monitoring Exposition and Conference (NaTMEC)
June 12, 2018 – Irvine, CA
Art Penn spoke at the National Travel Monitoring Exposition and Conference (NaTMEC) in Irvine, CA. This biennial conference attracts transportation data users and travel monitoring professionals from around the world to exchange ideas and learn about new technologies, best practices, and innovative processes.
Art’s presentation, “Video Data Collection: More Than Just Volume Counts?”, discussed a creative use of video collection units in combination with license plate recognition cameras. In addition to vehicle classification, this application of technologies enabled the Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA) to identify the origin of cash-paying vehicles (those not using the KTAG electronic tolling system), who make up approximately 60% of KTA travelers.
