New Closed Toll Collection System - Conclusion Great flexibility achieved in the toll collection management. The concessionaire can define the best adapted toll collection service depending of the level of traffic. Such a high level of automation allows the Concessionaire to avoid unnecessary engagement of resources (optimization of a team of 70 people, which equals 17,000 shifts at an annual level). Reached interoperability (OBU compatibility) is very simple. Interoperability is present among the users. High percentage of transactions made with the ETC achieved. By adapting the toll collection service to the requirements of traffic, toll operation costs are rationalized. This represents a good approach allowing operation sustainability in these times of economic difficulties. Thank You for Your attention. .
