Efkon is providing a single interface solution for all the sub-systems which enables information capture of all expressway activities and communication to the main and sub control centre across the expressway.

The Zirakpur Parwanoo scheme, India’s first project that is compliant with passive RFID technology based on ISO 18006C for electronic toll collection, will be provided by Efkon including the complete systems including (RFID) based toll collection system, weigh-in-motion systems and highway traffic management system including video incident detection system on the entire 27 km long section of the national highway 22.

Meanwhile, on the Chengapalli Coimbatore project, Efkon will provide its toll management system for twelve lanes and a comprehensive highway traffic management system running across the entire 42 km long section of the national highway 47.

The company is also involved in the Indore Gujarat project, a 161 km long section of national highway 59, and will provide a ply toll collection system including weigh-in-motion system for 28 lanes spread across two plazas and one check-post and the highway traffic management system.

Efkon has also been selected by Tata Group to provide its comprehensive toll and traffic management system on the Pune-Sholapur road for a joint venture of two infrastructure companies in India in the first build-operate-transfer (BOT) toll road project.

And in Jaipur city, a consortium led by Efkon has been selected by UTI Infrastructure Technology & Services as a solution provider to install automatic fare collection systems as a part of its common mobility card (CMC) programme run under the Ministry of Urban Transport.
