Electronic Toll Management System
Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) uses various technologies that allows the manual in-lane toll collection process to be automated in such a way that customers do not have to stop and pay cash at a toll booth. With ETC, an actual toll plaza is not even a requirement to collect tolls. The ETC equipment can be mounted on overhead gantries and/or in the pavement, which allows vehicles to be charged while they proceed at highway speeds.
For an ETC implementation to be effective, reliable and achieve maximum throughput and customer acceptance, three major in-lane/roadway components are required:
- Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) uses a radio Frequency (RF) device located in the vehicle to uniquely identify the vehicle to the toll equipment.
- Automatic Vehicle Classification (AVC) uses various sensors in and around the lane to determine the type of vehicle so that the proper toll can be charged.
- Video Enforcement Systems (VES) capture images of the license plates of vehicles that use the facility without a valid tag so that the owners can be identified and notified that a toll is due. All of these systems are tied together by what is commonly referred to as a lane controller.
CMS being a system integrator provides the Project Management services for any Electronic Toll Project.
Toll Plaza featuring Semi-Automatic toll collection is already commissioned by CMS for Mumbai-Pune Expressway, India.
Currently CMS is in a process of executing project management of Toll Plaza featuring Semi-Automatic toll collection for the following highways:
- Delhi-Agra NH-2 Highway
- Moradabad Bypass NH-24
