Tolling (r)evolution in Brisa
Tolling (r)evolution in Brisa
In July of 2007, Brisa concession proudly inaugurated a new and complete tolling organization and systems. The project, awarded to A-to-Be as the prime contractor, involved a dedicated Tolling systems design, contracting, installation, testing and maintenance for highways eleven motorways, totaling 1094 kilometers (680 miles) and 93 toll plazas.
It represented a new era, where all tolling critical systems went live, without any disruptions on service and road availability. Our team was responsible for the evaluating the of new technologies, the complete tolling systems development, upgrading and design, all procurement, production and logistics management, ending with a full systems’ testing and installation.
The client had even more reasons to be satisfied as this enabled several significant gains in cost control and revenue assurance, with 75% less heavy traffic toll leakage, an average reduction of 40% on equipment investment, and a return-on-investment of over two hundred and seven (207) million dollars. From them on, the advantages of having adopted the vendor agnostic architecture from A-to-Be became evident at the end of each equipment reinvestment cycle — negotiations with equipment vendors managed reduction down to half on previous prices.
