The highway toll facility consists of toll booths and a toll office. At a certain interchange, a combination of video intercom, paging, and surveillance camera systems were used. The video intercom verified visitors, the paging system facilitated communication from the toll office to the exterior of toll booths, and the surveillance camera monitored an underground passage for toll booth access. However, communication issues between the toll office and booths prompted consideration of new equipment for clear communication during noisy traffic. Existing systems operated independently with analog equipment, causing dissatisfaction and increased maintenance costs. It became evident that it was time to consider replacing the equipment.
The facility administrator opted for the IP video intercom system to enhance toll office and booth communication, utilizing its internal communication function. The master station's built-in handset ensured clear communication in noisy conditions. Simultaneously, upgrades were made to the paging and surveillance camera systems, and all equipment was interconnected using IP-compatible devices. This IP integration streamlined operations, improving overall system efficiency and addressing previous complexities. The removal of wiring constraints also led to reduced installation costs.
Expressways have been implemented as toll systems in various countries, including France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Australia, United States, Japan, etc. Toll collection serves to cover road construction costs, ensure maintenance expenses, and fund measures to reduce traffic congestion and promote environmental improvements. Although electronic payment systems are widespread, manned toll booths remain in use in many locations.
Toll facilities have diverse needs such as emergency paging, office-booth communication, internal surveillance, and visitor verification. Recently, various devices utilizing IP (Internet Protocol) technology have increased, allowing interoperability even with equipment from different manufacturers. Equipment integration through IP technology seamlessly addresses various needs, improves operational efficiency, and streamlines the diverse requirements in toll facility management. With AIPHONE's IP Video Intercom System at the core, why not streamline operational efficiency and management?
