TransCore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TransCore is a subsidiary of Roper Industries, based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, that specializes in Intelligent Transportation Systems.
TransCore has two major product families. The first family is in RFID transponders and readers. In this family, their original product line reflects their acquisition of Amtech in 2000. These transponders come in a plastic case, for either windshield or external mounting. Their newer line is the eGo windshield sticker transponder system, which is a low-cost, batteryless system designed for one-time attachment to a windshield. These transponders are found in electronic toll collection, fleet tracking, payment, parking and access control applications.
The second product family is the GlobalWave satellite communication system. This system gives vehicles low-speed communications, mostly for fleet applications, often with GPS integration.
In addition, TransCore has a substantial services business, designing, building and operating ITS facilities. This may be a complete electronic toll collection system, with design, build, transponders, equipment, customer service and violation enforcement, or any part of it. For example, TransCore operates the ETC systems for several E-ZPass members, even though E-ZPass has an exclusive contract with another manufacturer for transponders. Meanwhile, the Good To Go! system in Washington state is a complete drop-in design/build/operate of an eGo system.
TransCore was acquired by Roper Industries in 2004.
