Tecsidel signs the Toll System Project for Palmillas Apaseo El Grande highway in Mexico
BackOffice
For Palmillas - Apaseo El Grande highway Tecsidel will implement a mixed toll system that combines an open toll system with a closed toll system.
The closed toll system is designed to charge the user a proportional fee to the distance traveled.According to the current method, the user receives a physical ticket on the entry lane, which contains information about inbound traffic (station, date, time, etc.). The control ticket allows confirmation of the journey when the user delivers it in any of the possible highway exits, paying the corresponding fee amount depending on the kilometers that the user has traveled, with cash, bank card or TAG.
To determine the fee for a TAG device user, we will use the TAG reading of the entry point and the plate recognition by using OCR, with no need for a ticket. It is a flexible pricing system where each user pays the corresponding amount depending on the distance traveled, as well as from allowing control of all vehicles.
The vehicle classification will be done by laser scanner and photocell optical solutions that provide the following information with an accuracy of 99.9%:
- Number of vehicles (count)
- Maximum vehicle height
- Vehicle width
- Length and vehicle speed (calculated)
- Start and end detection vehicle
The payment methods will be cash, credit or debit card and Multiprotocol TAG's from Mexico.
One of the reasons why Actica has chosen Tecsidel is due to its previous experience in Mexico and recent success cases in Panama, Peru, Guatemala and Argentina.
Tecsidel signs SPV Toll project for Pedemontana Veneta road
Tecsidel Toll Systems & ITS has recently signed the SPV Toll project with SIS SCpA, involving the installation of a closed, interconnected and multimodal toll system in Superstrada a Pedaggio Pedemontana Veneta.
This project consists of 124 toll lanes, a control system for 20 plazas and a complete Backoffice. SIS SCpA has chosen Tecsidel as the toll systems integrator for this complex project thanks to its 37 years of worldwide experience in Toll & ITS systems integration.
The SPV is a closed toll system with 47 entry lanes and 77 exit lanes, and 20 plazas. Once a vehicle enters the toll road, the entry is recorded and payment is calculated and collected at the point of departure, according to the total distance travelled.
The SPV is interconnected with A4 Milano - Venezia, A31 Valdastico and A27 Venezia - Belluno. This means a vehicle can enter an SPV toll and leave through an interconnected highway, even if this zone belongs to another concessionaire; and vice versa.
The Tecsidel system will allow SPV concessionaire to offer different types of payment to users, such as Automatic Toll Payment Machines (ATPM) that accept various payment options: cash, credit card, Bancomat, FastPay, VIACARD, Telepass and MobiSis, ISO card subscribers, Calypso and Mifare Smart card, etc., electronic tolling (integrated in Telepass network) and manual tolling.
In Italy, toll collection systemshave significantly evolved in recent decades, in both their technological and functional aspect. Tecsidel has a wide experience in electronic payments and Backoffice solutions; another reason why SIS SCpA has decided to rely on Tecsidel, a foreign toll systems integrator.
Once again, Tecsidel has proven itself as a key international player in multimodal toll systems.
It is good to remember that the first highway was built in Italy, in 1924, between Milan and Varese. Now it takes part of A8 and A9 highways.
The project signing took place in Italy, at the beginning of April 2016.
Tecsidels classification system in Torghatten
By the end of 2015 Tecsidel was awarded for its first single gantry project in Torghatten (Norway), the Horten Moss ferry station. The project is managed by B&T Signaal and consists in a single gantry solution equipped with three lasers per lane that will make length based classification of the vehicles.
This single gantry solution involves a challenging classification system of up to 9 different types (length based) and with a margin of error of +/- 3 cm for the classification of vehicles. It is capable of working in stop and go conditions.
This innovative solution also knows exactly where the vehicle is and performs a complete tracking from the moment it enters the lane until it is fully classified. In addition, the classification system has self-learning mechanisms for the constant improvement in the performance. This is a breakthrough characteristic that as soon as the system has acquired some real data, will make it more precise and accurate.
This project also includes our developed Automatic Toll Payment Machine (ATPM). The fully automated, economically designed terminal allows various tasks like toll fee collection, entry ticket issuing and access point functions.
With this project, consisting of 2 plazas and 6 lanes, Tecsidel is settled even more in this niche market of toll and collection systems in Scandinavian countries.
New Tecsidel Free Flow system in Norway
Once again, Tecsidel has won a tender with quality, reliability and price in the northern country. NPRA has ordered 11 new charging points with 26 Free-Flow lanes, located all over Norway. Equipped with the latest technology, these systems are not only a benefit for the companies in regard of maintenance and operating costs, but also for the environment.There is no need for the vehicles to stop and go on-site.
The 4 toll projects will be installed on highways in the north, east and south Norwegian regions: E18 Knapstad Retvet, E18 Riksgrensen-Orje (Ostfold), E18 Bommestad (Vesfold), E6 Helgeland sor (Nordland) and Fv. 17 Godoystraumen (Nordland).
The Free Flow tolling system is an automatic toll collection system for roads, highways and city access which does not affect the normal traffic flow of vehicles when cross the charging point. This is also a major benefit for the environment. Tecsidel has already successfully implemented these systems in various countries and cities, e.g. Sweden and Norway. Now, we offer one single gantry, equipped with state-of-the-art cameras and lasers, as requested by our customers, to reduce costs and maintenance.
Tecsidels Toll Payment Machines in France
A new order from France took place by our long-standing customers APRR (Autoroutes Paris Rhin Rhône) and ATMB (Autoroutes et Tunnel du Mon-Blanc), for our state-of-the-art payment machines.

Tecsidel MEP Solution is implemented in Perú
Tecsidel MEP (Medio Electrónico de Pago), which will be deployed in Peru adding a new important reference for this solution, is an electronic payment manager system for the commercialization of TAGs, tags inventory, customer billing, contracts and transactions management and other services to concessionaires. In this project in Peru, Tecsidel has implemented a 100% website platform which handles, in this first phase, over 2 million customers for a single toll concession Rutas de Lima, with the possibility to integrate, in future, a multi-concession.
Tecsidel MEP consists of a series of functional & indispensable modules managing: Configuration (system parameters relating to user and operator access), Services (fees and discounts), Contracts (account registration and maintenance), Transactions (financial management of the concessionaire companies and their invoices), TAGs inventory (follow-up of the TAG life cycle), List (up-to-date lists of approved TAGs).
The TAG is the first means of payment managed throught the MEP. The systems are designed to operate under two options, postpaid and prepaid with manual or automatic refills. The user can choose in which want to register.
The Systems can be accessed through two public portals: once for users with the tags sales processing, customer services, a customized area to consult consumption and transit; and another for the concessionaries in which you will be able to manage transit by contract and global finances.
Finally with the information management module can be managed all the entities of the system, including the ones from MEP.
