Emovis has announce the successful implementation of a state-of-the-art free-flow tolling system for Elizabeth River Crossings (ERC) at the Downtown and Midtown Tunnels in Virginia.
This milestone represents a significant advancement in tolling technology and a shared commitment to enhancing transportation efficiency and sustainability in the region.
Developed in partnership between Emovis and ERC, the free-flow tolling system is designed to provide accurate, reliable toll collection, minimize revenue leakage and improve operational efficiency while enhancing the overall travel experience for users.
“We are thrilled to partner with ERC on this initiative,” says Christian Barrientos, CEO of Emovis. “Together, we’ve implemented a cutting-edge solution that sets a new benchmark for tolling systems in the region.”
The project includes four tolling gantries strategically located at the Downtown Tunnel (DTT) and Midtown Tunnel (MTT). Each gantry is equipped with advanced roadside sensors and pavement detection technology.
Vehicle data is processed via Emovis’ cloud-based Roadside System Equipment platform, Emovis Identify, which generates accurate, uniform transaction messages. These messages are seamlessly integrated with ERC’s Toll Transaction Host for rating and invoicing in near real time. The new system was implemented alongside the existing Road Toll Collection System, which has remained operational during the transition and will be decommissioned after the full adoption of the new platform.
“We are proud to have completed the installation of this innovative solution at our tunnels, so that we can provide even better customer service. This project is an example of our continuous commitment to improve our infrastructure,” says Anna Bonet, CEO of ERC.
As the free-flow tolling system becomes fully operational, Emovis and ERC are committed to continuously monitoring and optimizing its performance. This transformative project is a testament to the potential of innovative tolling solutions across the United States.
