Free Flow tolling system

Free Flow Tattile: seamless solution

Free Flow tolling, how does it work?

  • In MLFF, vehicles can pass through the tolling point (e.g. on highways or bridges ) without stopping or slowing down, and tolls are collected electronically using license plate recognition systems. This solution allows for a more efficient and faster tolling process. It reduces traffic congestion and improves safety and convenience for drivers.
  • Free Flow tolling system grants toll collection without the need of toll booths. It allows to travel without ever finding barriers that usually cause queues, and the drivers can save travel time and contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions and air pollution.
  • Free Flow tolling system is a completely automated ANPR/ALPR solution used extensively in electronic tolling collection and in monitoring transit on expressways.
  • In a free flow tolling system, laser scanner sensors fit perfectly, ensuring highly accurate vehicle separation, counting, and classification. These sensors are also used to trigger cameras.

The Tattile smart ALPR cameras installed on gantries detect license plate numbers of vehicles in transit under these structures. The data recorded are then transmitted to a central system for processing to identify the vehicle owner and assign the related toll fare. In Free Flow tolling is fundamental to have a high accuracy in detecting and recognising vehicles to avoid loss of money for the road owner.

Laser technology counts and classifies each vehicle along with our non-intrusive Axle Counter. All that information is merged and validated by our new generation software, Stark Fusion. These natively integrated technologies significantly reduce congestion and ensure high-volume,
high-accuracy toll processing.

Tattile Free flow tolling cameras: features and functionality

  • Internal Object detector: automatic working mode for the recognition of transiting vehicles traveling at speeds of up to 320 km/h (198 mph)
  • All-in-one technology: all necessary equipment embedded in the camera
  • Double Head system: OCR camera and CTX color context camera
  • OCR performance: 99,9% detection  and 99,5% accuracy
  • High-quality sensor: with a resolution of up to 8 megapixels on the OCR channel. This advanced feature guarantees high image quality and extends coverage to two lanes with overlap for accurate data capture.
  • Easy data reconciliation. REST API interface facilitates easy integration and connectivity with external devices such as laser scanners, radar systems, loops, RFID antennas, and vehicle axle information

Tattile Free flow tolling sensors: features and functionality

  • Axle Counter with embedded technology allows precise and modular axle detection and counting for any kind of vehicle.
  • Easy and flexible interfacing with existing devices and triggering sources.
  • Easy to integrate with our ANPR cameras to have all information related to the vehicle.
  • Axle, through his image analysis, is able to detect: raised axels and twins wheels.
  • Tattile laser scanner sensors ensure highly accurate vehicle separation, counting, and classification.
  • With an aperture angle of 210° ensure covering up to 2 lanes in free flow tolling applications.
