Tecsidel signs a project with the concessionaire Vial Andes 7 (https://www.vialandes7.com.ar/) for the supply, implementation and start-up of the Stop & Go Toll System and the Electronic Toll Collection System (ETC) for 21 lanes and 4 plazas of ‘Corredor C’ in Argentina. The mixed toll system will be installed in the plazas Villa Espil, Vicuña Mackenna, La Paz and Junín, which belong to the national route number 7.
Concesionaria Vial Cruz del Sur (http://cvcruzdelsur.com.ar/) will also count on Tecsidel experience for the implementation of the Stop & Go Tolling and ETC System for 500Km of ‘Corredor A’. The scope of the project will include 3 toll plazas: Hinojo, El Dorado and Tandil Vasconia, with 6, 6 and 4 lanes in each one.
In both projects, the system integrates three operational levels: lane, plaza and central system. The Tecsidel Back Office application allows collecting and processing all data of the toll plazas to obtain an absolute control of collection, possible fraud, reports and information exchange with other external systems.
‘Corredor C’ and ‘Corredor A’ are characterized by having a high level of congestion on their routes with a large percentage of heavy vehicles. For this reason, their respective concessionaires have started these projects in order to improve the quality of service and user safety. Furthermore, the technology installed in its collection plazas allows the payment with TelePASE TAG, accepted on the main highways of Argentina.
Including these projects, this year Tecsidel will cover a total of 5 important projects in the Argentine country.

Tecsidel is awarded the toll system renovation on the Tamar Bridge (UK)
In February 2018, Tecsidel and "Tamar Bridge & Torpoint Ferry" sign the renovation of the current toll system on the Tamar Bridge and the ferry that connects Torpoint with Plymouth (United Kingdom). This bridge is located over the river Tamar between Saltash, Cornwall and Plymouth, in the southwest of England. It is 335 meters long, running adjacent to the Royal Albert Bridge, and part of the A38, a main road between the two counties.
The scope of this project is 1 plaza with 8 lanes and the collection by Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) on the ferry between Torpoint and Plymouth. This means a modernisation following an earlier install performed by Tecsidel. The toll system implemented in the plaza will be mixed, combining the manual toll -whose accepted payment methods are cash, bank card and Mifare, with electronic toll collection by OBUs.
For the ferry, Tecsidel will provide an electronic portable collection system, PDA, equipped with barcode and smart cards reader. This handheld device uses DSRC (Dedicated Short-Ranged Communications) technology to identify the vehicle TAG and has full autonomy and data storage capacity. Furthermore, it is fitted with a belt mounted Bluetooth receipt printer. Automatic data exchange with the central system is done by using Wi Fi network or ethernet charging cradle.
Tecsidel plans to complete the project in March 2019.
