Challenge
Rodovia Presidente Dutra is the busiest highway in Brazil, as it connects the two biggest cities in in the country, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The section that crosses Guarulhos near Sao Paulo carries a significant volume of passenger and freight traffic every day.
Deploying the largest Free Flow tolling project in Brazil on one of the country's busiest highway corridors in an urban environment presented significant implementation challenges. The project required the installation of 19 tolling gantries and supporting infrastructure while maintaining uninterrupted traffic flow across the heavily traveled section.
Working within limited installation windows, ensuring safety for both motorists and construction crews, integrating multiple technology platforms, and calibrating a system demanded meticulous planning, close stakeholder coordination, and flawless execution.
Solution
The solution includes the roadside equipment and systems, as well as an operational back-office platform fully integrated with the client's commercial back office, supporting customer management and revenue collection processes.
Special developments were required for the Brazilian market, including validation rules and integration interfaces with payment methods mandated by local market requirements.
To ensure a successful transition to the new tolling model, Kapsch provided operational support during the first year following go-live, followed by five years of maintenance services.
Innovation
It was the first Free Flow tolling implementation of this magnitude in Brazil, creating one of the most advanced tolling corridors in Latin America The system combines advanced vehicle detection, classification, and identification systems:
- Advanced cameras and sensors developed and manufactured by Kapsch.
- Automatic vehicle identification technologies.
- Real-time transaction processing systems.
- Integration with the concessionaire's commercial and customer-management systems.
Impact
The result is a faster and more efficient travel experience for highway users, while improving operational efficiency for the concessionaire:
- Uninterrupted traffic flow and improved travel times.
- Reduced operational costs associated with traditional toll collection.
- Enhanced user experience for drivers traveling through the São Paulo metropolitan region.
- A new benchmark for large-scale Free Flow tolling deployments in Brazil and Latin America.
