Emovis, Abertis’ toll technology subsidiary, has signed with the Transport Infrastructure national agency of Ireland a two-year extension for the operation of the M50 Western Ring-Road free-flow (barrier-less) tolling up until March 2021.
This year, the management of the M50 free flow tolling, the first that was installed in Europe, celebrates its tenth year being operated by Emovis. Since 2008, the traffic has grown by 63% to 143,000 passages a day.
The M-50 is integrated in the Irish Interoperability Management Services Provider (IMSP), a e-toll collecting interoperable system for several motorways in the country, which is also managed by Emovis.
