Feedback Brisa to implement ETC on NH-8

Feeback Brisa Highways OMT Private Limited, a joint venture between Feedback Infrastructure Services Private Limited and Brisa, Auto-estradas de Portugal ? one of the Europe?s largest motorway companies, will implement the latest Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) project on national highway NH-8. The project, which is being initially implemented on a pilot basis, promises to significantly reduce wait times at toll plazas; reduce accidents through better signage & safety measures, and will have proactive maintenance to improve life of the assets. Motorists can drive through toll plazas without stopping while transport operators will be able to quickly track movement of their fleet on the highways. Other benefits will be savings on paper used for printing toll challans and a safer, leak-proof tolling management system for concessionaires. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has been encouraging the use of the ETC system and aims to widely implement it by 2015.
