Supporting India's Barrier-Free Toll Collection Initiative
NHAI is transforming highway toll collection with Multi-Lane Free Flow technology, starting with India’s first barrier-free toll plazas at Choryasi (Gujarat) and Gharaunda (Haryana).
The program aims to deploy MLFF systems across 25+ locations in FY 2025-26, eliminating physical toll barriers while maintaining accurate vehicle detection and revenue collection.
Rocket Science Technologies partners with infrastructure operators to deliver the full sensor solution stack required by modern MLFF deployments.
Key MLFF Requirements:
- High-speed vehicle detection and classification
- Multi-lane simultaneous monitoring
- FASTag RFID integration
- Front and rear ANPR for VRN capture
- 24×7 all-weather operation
- 99%+ transaction accuracy
