Emovis, an Abertis company, announced the successful implementation of a new free-flow tolling system it developed in collaboration with Elizabeth River Crossings (ERC), operator of the Downtown and Midtown Tunnels in Virginia’s Hampton Roads region.
The system, now in initial stage of operation, includes four strategically located gantries, each equipped with advanced roadside sensors and pavement detection technology. Vehicle data is processed through Emovis’ cloud-based “Emovis Identify” platform and “seamlessly integrated with ERC’s Toll Transaction Host for rating and invoicing in near real time.” Emovis said the system is designed to “provide accurate, reliable toll collection, minimize revenue leakage and improve operational efficiency while enhancing the overall travel experience for users.” The free-flow system was installed alongside ERC’s existing roadside collection system, which remains in operation during a transition that will involve its full decommissioning.
Emovis CEO Christian Barrientos commented, “We are thrilled to partner with ERC on this initiative. Together, we’ve implemented a cutting-edge solution that sets a new benchmark for tolling systems in the region.”
