However, E-ZPass was merely a precursor to more advanced technologies and integrated systems. The success of E-ZPass paved the way for the development of more sophisticated intelligent transportation systems (ITS) that leverage real-time data, sensors, and communication networks to optimize traffic flow and improve safety. For instance, many transportation agencies began to integrate E-ZPass data with other ITS components, such as traffic cameras and sensors, to create a more comprehensive and dynamic traffic management system.
