The complete solution for managing vehicle accesses and highway toll collection procedures

By integrating several software modules of the Sesamo platform, each managing a specific feature, it is possible to design solutions capable of managing the entire vehicle transit procedure at entry and exit gates in a highway toll collection infrastructure.
Thanks to the expertise acquired in over 30 years of designing and developing software toll collection solutions for leading highway concessionaires, Sesamo-Toll is a reliable and extensively-tested solution capable of managing all subsystems composing a highway gate: deterrent devices (barriers, traffic lights, etc.), vehicle detection and classification devices (induction loops, optical barriers, etc.) and user interaction devices (automatic ticket dispensers, intercom columns, displays).
The Sesamo-Toll software modules are capable of handling the entire transit procedure by managing all types of highway gates: manual, automatic (prepaid cards), dynamic (electronic toll collection) or mixed. Sesamo-Toll is completely compliant with highway concessionaire toll collection systems and therefore it is capable of managing all types of collection: cash, debit cards, credit cards, prepaid cards, electronic toll collection.

Infrastructure

The software modules
Sesamo-Toll is composed of several software modules entirely developed by Aitek which allow to efficiently and securely manage the entire toll collection procedure. Its great modularity allows to design solutions which can be customized based on the Customer’s requirements and adapted to different operating scenarios.
The following are the Sesamo platform software modules required to completely control the typical features of entry and exit highway gates:

Sesamo-Lane
Basic software for the implementation of toll lane management applications. It sets the operating status of the lanes, detects vehicles and enables their transit.

Sesamo-AVC
This module manages field devices for the classification of vehicles in size classes (inductive loops, optical barriers) and deterrent devices (barriers, traffic lights).

Sesamo-LPR
Recognition of vehicle license plates using OCR technology. It provides the automatic recognition of front and rear plates – including trailers – of vehicles.

Sesamo-REC
Acquisition and storage of video recordings of each transit.

Sesamo-SPEED
Real-time estimation of the speed of vehicles in transit.

Sesamo-UHF
Management of identification devices based on RFId UHF technology.

Sesamo-BCR
Management of barcode readers, QR code readers and badge readers.

Sesamo-POS
Management of bank credit card readers for toll payments.

Sesamo-TOTEM
Module for managing user interaction through self-service terminals.
