Data Collection for Tolling Operations

At Asura Technologies we believe that free flow systems hold the future of road user charging projects. Free flow systems in the traffic sector are enabled by vehicles identified using number plate recognition technology (instead of using tickets or tokens), where the license plate number serves as a reference for transactions in connection with a given vehicle. Payment systems are operated automatically 24/7 without human intervention, whether it is a tolling, congestion charging, parking or traffic control system, so that all functions are available without interrupting the journey, on the move, as part of the free flow system.

The transformation brought by free flow systems eliminates barriers and gates aimed at disrupting the flow of traffic. Nowadays free flow solutions are replacing the long-established gated systems (like the ones operating in Italy or Croatia) with e-ticketing. E-tickets can be bought online – even on the go – using the license plate number as the reference for payment. Enforcement is done using cameras over the motorway, capturing the license plate and category of vehicles passing by and matching the information with the payment details, providing altogether an effective way to get rid of queues before the tollgates.

INDONESIAN MLFF PROJECT
PROJECT OVERVIEW

Asura in concession with other technology providers won a tender to modernize over 1700 km-s of the Indonesian highway system. Asura designed and delivers the data collection piece of the operation. The Indonesian highway network is planned to be extended to 6000 km-s in the upcoming years.

DELIVERED SYSTEM PROPERTIES

  • Less likely to lose events as the system does not have “blind spots”, performs well in traffic jams and detects vehicles, reads license plates and categorizes vehicles switching lanes in the camera view.
  • Categorization is performed using video image, works in normal conditions and in traffic jams as well, the system does axle counting as well.
  • License plate reading is triggered using object detection as in the case of front plate reading, so only a bare minimum of events is lost
