Computerized Toll Collection Systems
|
Micrologic's computerized toll collection systems are designed to improve the efficiency of toll collection in highways, skyways and bridges. It can use single-trip and stored value magnetic cards, contactless smart cards, active ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) tags or passive ETC Tags. The system can either be open (single payment point) or closed ( pay at exit). For a closed system, the entry lane equipment typically include:
-
Toll Teller terminals
-
Overhead Lane Status Indicator
-
Entry loop
-
Magnetic Card or Smart Card Dispenser/Reader
-
Lane Controller
Automatic Lane Barrier (Optional)
All of the lane equipment are interfaced to the Lane Controller which in turn is networked to a Plaza Computer for real-time monitoring, data retrieval and storage of transactions and incidents.
A typical exit lane or open system lane shall include the following equipment:
-
Toll Teller terminals including Receipt Printer
-
Overhead Lane Status Indicator
-
Entry loop
-
Magnetic Card or Smart Card Reader/Writer
-
ETC Antenna and Reader
-
Lane Controller
-
Toll Fare Indicator·Lane Traffic Light
-
Automatic Vehicle Classification System
-
Automatic Lane Barrier
-
Lane Camera

Automatic Fare Collection Systems
|
Micrologic manufactures computerized ticketing or fare collection system for mass transit train, busway and ferry systems. The system uses contactless smart cards with single-trip or stored value capabilities. It can also be linked to a cellphone-based re-loading or top-up system so the customer can re-load his stored value smart card using his cellular phone.
A typical system consists of card-controlled turnstile entry and exit units and card re-loading stations networked to a station computer server. Stations are then networked with each other through a wireless broadband or fiber-optic Wide Area Network (WAN) with the main server located in the central station. Transactions from all the stations are captured into the main server's database for generation of reports and settlement of multi-merchant transactions with a payment clearing house.
Contactless smart cards allow for high-speed and secure transactions for high volume, fast moving micropayments as in mass transit systems. Transactions of one second per passenger is possible and the high maintenance associated with magnetic stripe cards is avoided. The cards are also very secure and can accommodate other applications such as car park and fastfood chain purchases.
Micrologic’s smart card installations include the Metro Rail Transit System (MRT) at EDSA, the Pasig Rivery Ferry System and various carparks operated by Ayala in Makati.

Wireless Telemetry and SCADA Systems
|
Micrologic System Inc. is a systems integrator and manufacturer of Wireless Telemetry and SCADA systems for water utilities, industrial parks, electric utilities, mines, water treatment plants, etc. The system allows the remote monitoring and control of industrial facilities from a central location without the need for cabling. Remote sites utilize Remote Terminal Units, each consisting of a controller, GSM modem or wireless broadband modem and the necessary interface to the site's instrumentation equipment.
The central station consist of a Windows or UNIX-based computer, Man-Machine Interface (MMI) software and wireless modem. The easy-to-use graphical user interface permits personnel with minimum training to operate the complete system. Data recording, alarm generation, trending and graphical plots are some of the standard functions of the MMI.
Micrologic’s SCADA installations include the Metro Cebu Water District, Cabanatuan Water District and Maynilad Water Services Inc
