ALK Technologies Inc., Princeton, N.J., announced that its new Tolls module is now being made available for beta testing. Full release of the new module is expected in January.

The Tolls module will be part of ALK/FleetSuite, a set of tools that uses the company's industry standard PC*MILER product solutions. ALK/FleetSuite includes Condensed Driving Directions, ETA/OoR and Mapping modules.
The Directions module offers customized, automated directions, including nationwide and/or street-level truck-specific driving directions that can be transmitted to any on-board communications system.
The ETA/OoR module keeps vehicles on the most efficient route and provides shippers and receivers with accurate arrival times. The Mapping module provides views of a vehicle's exact location when it is reported out-of-route and enables users to view locations of multiple trucks based on real-time GPS information.
According to ALK, research for the Tolls module included 31 states, 112 toll authorities and 232 roads, bridges and tunnels.
"Trucking companies have become very efficient at tracking costs like fuel," stated Ed Siciliano, vice president, Sales Marketing. "But the absence of an accurate point-to-point toll calculation capability has made it difficult to effectively manage this very expensive area of their business, especially in certain parts of the country where tolls are numerous.”
