PROJECT OVERVIEW

Tecnova was responsible for the design, implementation, and go-live of the Daily Pass Management System. This system enables the administration of daily passes, which allow vehicles to travel on urban highways.

Daily passes are used by vehicles that do not have an authorized electronic toll collection device (TAG), enabling lawful use of concessioned highways and preventing infractions related to unauthorized transit.

The core functionalities implemented in the Daily Pass Management System include:

• Registration of sold and used daily passes
• Modification of pass activation dates
• Management of pass refunds
• Determination of daily pass usage by concessionaire
• Execution of the clearing process

Based on this information, the system calculates the amounts corresponding to each concessionaire for a given period, according to pass usage and sales volume. The respective settlements are then processed during the period in which each highway operator is responsible for managing this process.

Additionally, the project scope included the implementation of a reporting module to support operational management and decision-making.

The Daily Pass Management System is integrated with the Highway Offenders Management System, also implemented by Tecnova during the same period. Daily pass data is consumed by the offenders system to prevent infractions related to transit without a TAG.
