USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR YOUR TOLL BUSINESS
The TollWay™ is complete solution developed to cover all bussiness processes which are connected to toll collection. Business processes which are take place at different levels of toll collection system – lane, plaza and center are covered with single integrated solution to provide you the best possible support of your tolling operations.
TOLLING DEMYSTIFIED
Open and customizable system with wide range of user-configurable options gives you control over your system.
FRAUD PREVENTION
Proven technologies upon which is TollWay™ built ensures that your profit is maximized.
Transactions generated at any level of the toll collection system will be safely stored at the destination – no one transaction will be lost.
Powerful auditing tool, at each level, provides you possibility to analyze acquired data in any moment.
CENTRALIZED SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Comprehensive configuration capability expands operational flexibility – configuration applied at central level is automatically distributed to lower hierarchy levels – plaza and lane.
Lower operational costs means more profit.
HARDWARE INDEPENDENT
Architecture neutral development environment (based on Java™) provides you flexibility in choice of used hardware and operating system.
Portability provides you possibility to change hardware without need for new software development. Support for different operating systems and databases minimize technology dependences.
Intelligent DeviceManager, which is part of toll lane application, provides open interface for new hardware components integration at lane level.
INTEGRATION WITH EXTERNAL SYSTEMS
System is open for any integration technology with other systems based on WEB services, application programming interface (API) integration or data integration based on different data exchange formats like database tables, XML or others.
Possible examples include integration with Central Clearing House, bank, ERP system or end-user web portal.
SYSTEM ELEMENTS
TollWay™ software suite is composed of different modules which support toll collection process at various levels:
END USER WEB PORTAL – meant to provide convenient access for the end-users to the different level of stored information within toll collection system. Web based application provides possibility to overview account status and personal information, usage history overview, account recharge using credit card/mobile phone/voucher, buying of the new product, account status notification etc. Web portal is accessible to end-users anytime and from anywhere.
CENTER – central application enables central management as well as central audit for whole system. Data generated at all levels are stored in central system. Wide range of configuration parameters provides you flexibility in every day operation – system is fully under your control. Applied changes are automatically distributed to lower levels in real-time.
PLAZA – plaza application provides support for all processes which have place at toll plaza - e.g. cash management, point-of-sale, incident management, lane management etc.
LANE – lane application supports different types of toll collection – e.g. manual, semi-automatic or automatic. Support for different methods of payment – cash, cards, contactless smart card, RFID, DSRC tags is available. Customized GUI provides toll collector all important information during the toll collection process.

AUTOMATIC VEHICLE CLASSIFICATION (AVC)
• High accuracy level for vehicle counting and classification-100% for counting, 99.6% for classification of standard vehicles
• Side vehicle profile, generated by vehicle passing through the light grid, is handled by central processing unit thus determining exact vehicle class
• Implemented highly sophisticated, self learning vehicle classification algorithm -overall accuracy improved with each processed vehicle
• C onfigurable definition of vehicle category
• Classification data available for export to different data formats
• Comprehensive auditing functions integrated with tolling modules
• Internal AVC memory allows a storage of at least 6 month data
• High data protection against unauthorized access at all levels
• Comprehensive fault diagnostics provides you valuable data for efficient maintenance
• Redundant hardware configuration – double sensor arrays provide operational reserve in case of multiple sensor failures
• Low installation and maintenance costs
• Applicable for temporary toll plazas as well as existing toll lanes
INTEGRATION WITH topXview™
Designing system with traffic management and toll collection integration in mind from a very beginning helps rationalize infrastructure and management costs and significantly increase traffic flow.
Both systems can use common communication infrastructure providing optimal use of equipment and avoiding unnecessary duplicating network capacities
Both systems management and supervision are placed in one control centre thus rationalizing space and equipment requirements.
Information sharing between systems improves usability and efficiency of both systems (for example: speed enforcement system that detects over‐speeded vehicles immediately sends information to toll plazas where violators can be charged properly)
