QUALITY PRODUCTS FOR ANY KIND OF ELECTRONIC TOLL COLLECTION

FEIG ELECTRONIC offers a wide range of quality products for electronic toll collection on all types

of roads or toll objects, such as bridges or tunnels. Our portfolio includes UHF RFID reader tech-

nology for accurate vehicle identification, contactless payment systems for stationary charging,

control units and loop detectors for barrier systems – all from a single source.

Free-flow tolling systems

Also known as ‘open-road tolling’, free-

flow tolling offers many advantages

compared to toll plazas with barriers.

Because vehicles can drive through at

higher speeds, there are no traffic jams

at toll plazas and less risk of accidents

caused by cars maneuvering into the

right lane. In addition, free-flow sys-

tems cost less to implement because

gantries are cheaper than barriers and

ticket booths. Free-flow tolling is based

on UHF RFID technology.

Tolling at bridges and tunnels

Toll collection systems for bridges

are often free-flow. UHF RFID readers

identify tags mounted on the car and

process the charging transaction.

Access to tunnels is often controlled

by barrier systems and traffic lights.

After identification of registered users

or payment by occasional users, traffic

volume in the tunnel then needs to be

regulated. FEIG also supplies control

units for barrier systems and loop

detectors for traffic light control.

Stationary plaza tolling

While free-flow tolling systems charge

registered customers in advance, non-

registered users need to stop at a toll

station and pay by cash or credit card.

In this case, contactless payment sys-

tems based on debit and credit cards

or smartphone ‘wallets’ are the easiest

and fastest way to pay at the toll plaza.

Payment terminals need to support

both RFID-based customer cards for

regular users and contactless debit /

credit cards for occasional users.
