Remote Operating of 42 toll stations

Context

Société des Autoroutes Rhône Alpes is an affiliate of French group APRR. The company operates a network of 384 Km highways in the SouthEast of France. In order to improve employees security and toll’s management, AREA decided in 2008 to implement an innovative architecture based on AgiWare TOPS®.

Within a very short period of time, a Proof of Concept was engaged to test AgiWare TOPS® in real conditions. A representative set of AREA applications was integrated and after a successful 3-month testing, AREA gave its GO to deploy the solution. So from that time until now, AREA has been managing remotely its Tolls through TOPS®.
