This system will also eventually benefit the expressway users, by way of safe and hassle free travel, with rapid action and support, in case of emergency.

The highway traffic management system (HTMS) solution provided by Efkon India is claimed to be among the most advanced solutions in the Indian tolling industry. This includes sub-systems like emergency call box, CCTV surveillance& video image detection system, vehicle tracking and speed enforcement system, and meteorological system.
