 Computerized Toll Collection System |
 |
 Micrologic's
computerized toll collection systems are designed to improve the efficiency
of toll collection in highways, skyways and bridges. It uses single-pass
and stored value magnetic cards, vehicle
counting systems and automatic barriers.
Toll collection terminals can be networked
to a toll plaza computer for real-time retrieval and storage of transactions.
Each terminal is also equipped with single or dual diskette drives
to serve as back-ups in a stand-alone configuration.
For more sophisticated applications, it can also include a video monitoring system, Automatic Vehicle Classification (AVC) and the Smart Card Reader for use with the contactless smart card.
 One
of Micrologic's latest innovations is the use of contactless stored
value smart cards instead of magnetic
stripe cards. With this technology, the motorist simply waves
the card on the reader mounted on the side of the toll booth.
The toll fee is automatically computed and deducted from the card.
This speeds up of the transaction
and eliminates the wear and tear associated with magnetic stripe
cards. Micrologic
has been exporting its toll collection systems to China, most of which
are in Guangdong province. A total of 151 lanes on 15 Highways
were installed. Its projects in the Philippines include PNCC's North
and South Luzon Expressways, the Transcore system at the CMMTC Skyway and SLE,
Subic-Tipo Road, PEATC Coastal Road, PNCC Skyway Corp. and ABI-Greenfield
Toll Plaza.
