Section 135IAC4-6-2. Evidence of crossing

   (a) A crossing shall be evidenced, in addition to a crossing recorded by a transponder reading, by video or photographic captures of license plate images using a license plate recognition system, or such other method as may be technologically reliable, which shall be compared by the toll operator (or its agents) against the license plate and registration databases available to the toll operator.

  (b) License plate images may be captured through license plate cameras (both front and rear enforcement cameras) mounted in toll gantries, and otherwise as appropriate.

  (c) License plate images may be stored electronically. Images may be processed using an optical character recognition technique or human image review.

  (d) License plate images shall be cross checked by the toll operator with license plates on file for registered video tolling accounts. If necessary, the toll operator will request a look-up from the applicable DMV or other available sources.

  (e) If the motorist does not have a registered video tolling account, or such account is not sufficiently prefunded, an initial toll invoice will be sent in a timely fashion to the motorist for the identified vehicle engaged in a crossing in accordance with 135 IAC 4-9-1.
