Contactless toll roads: Reduce risk, costs and queues

The N6 is a dual carriage motorway that runs from the west to east coast of Ireland, connecting Galway and Dublin. The motorway was officially completed and opened to traffic in December 2009, and was Ireland’s first city-to-city direct major inter-urban route to be completed – and, at 144 km, it is the third-longest motorway in the country.

N6 Concession Ltd operates a 53km stretch from Galway to Ballinasloe, including a toll plaza located at Cappataggle, between junctions 15 Ballinasloe West and 16 Loughrea. N6 Concession was looking to enable the toll booths to accept contactless payments that guarantee payment even in an offline environment and reduce monthly losses to zero. The mag stripe transactions – phased out industry-wide because of their increased riskiness – have also needed to be replaced with EMV technology, in order to provide security for customers.
