Traffic Surveillance and Road User Charging

Free Flow Road User Charging

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.

Vehicle categorization available solely using video analytics, without laser scanners cutting on the costs of system setup

Advantages

  • More economical and less intrusive installation and operation compared to gated solution
  • No obstructions on the highway, increasing road user comfort

  • One camera can monitor 3 lanes in parallel when running ALPR

Customer stories
Customer stories

Our partner in Peru is the operator of a toll road section and was looking for a solution to replace the then on-board unit (using RFID technology)-based tolling system. We supplied a new system implementing ALPR, where toll payment is connected to the license plate and payment control is done real-time, reading the license plates of passing vehicles. The new system does not require vehicle owners to own an on-board unit (that needs to be replaced from time-to-time) and eliminated the revenue loss generated by illegal on-board unit transfers.
