PC*MILER|Tolls Update Released by ALK Technologies
Significant toll cost increases for commercial vehicles in
New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania
Grapevine, Texas — January 13, 2011 - ALK Technologies announces its most recent quarterly update of toll costs for its PC*MILER|Tolls solution, coinciding with increases in commercial vehicle toll rates by a significant number of toll agencies in the United States and Canada, particularly those in the states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
"ALK remains committed to working closely with toll authorities in the United States and Canada to provide our users with the latest changes,"
said Kara Jo Witkowski, Senior Product Marketing Manager, PC*MILER Solutions. "We encourage customers to download the most recent update
to ensure reporting accuracy and to better manage their operating costs."
Driven by the same technology and map data as ALK's industry-standard PC*MILER routing, mileage and mapping software, the current 24 and
24.1 versions of PC*MILER|Tolls include 71,450 unique toll paths.
For each toll path, PC*MILER|Tolls calculates exact toll costs based on vehicle weight, axle count, departure location, vehicle dimension,
route preference, type of toll (cash or discount program), and destination.
ALK continuously monitors toll rates for each toll path and updates its tolls database quarterly as the toll rates fluctuate. The installed
version of PC*MILER|Tolls is equipped with a web-based update tool to facilitate the ability to download software patches and data updates.
Quarterly toll cost updates are also automatically updated and maintained by ALK for users of PC*MILER Web Services. This hosted interfacing
application provides a standardized way of embedding PC*MILER truck-specific routes, mileage, maps and reports with third-party applications and
websites.
