SAFEWAY – GUJARAT
Gujarat, one of India’s most industrially advanced states, is a key player in the country’s economic growth. With its expansive network of national highways, Gujarat serves as a critical hub for trade and commerce. To further enhance the state’s transportation infrastructure, several tollway projects have been undertaken, focusing on improving road safety, reducing congestion, and promoting efficient toll collection.
The rapid industrialization and urbanization in Gujarat have led to increased traffic congestion and longer wait times at toll plazas. Inefficient toll collection processes, coupled with inadequate traffic management systems, have resulted in delays, higher carbon emissions, and reduced overall travel efficiency. These challenges necessitated the implementation of advanced toll management systems to streamline operations and improve the commuting experience.
Safeway Concessions, a leading infrastructure developer, has partnered with EFKON STRABAG to implement state-of-the-art Toll Management Systems (TMS) across multiple highway sections in Gujarat. This collaboration focuses on integrating advanced technology solutions to enhance toll collection efficiency and traffic management, thereby addressing the critical issues faced by the state’s transportation network.
