Mexico’s toll road operator Caminos y Puentes Federales (Capufe) has awarded Spanish technology company 509 Indra a contract, valued at US$42 million (€38 million), to develop and implement a remote toll system for the country’s public highway network, which covers almost 500 lanes over 4,000 kilometres of road.

The solution implemented by Indra includes the new remote toll system and telecommunications equipment, as well as subsystems for billing, communications, customer service and back office systems, which will manage transaction collections and processing. The contract also includes maintenance for four years.

The interoperable system allows users to pay without stopping by using the TAG electronic device installed in their vehicles and to pass through any toll booth in the country.
