Emovis brings global Free Flow expertise to Montreal, Canada. Emovis, took part in the Global Tolling Summit 2026, organized by IBTTA and held September 24-26, 2026 at Le Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The event brought together leaders, innovators, and practitioners shaping the next era of mobility, from emerging technologies to global projects redefining how people and goods move. Marc Deflin, Chief Sales Officer, North America, and Miguel Melchor, Growth, Market Development & Public Affairs, represented Emovis. Leading the Transition to Free Flow. On Friday, September 25, at 2:00 pm, Marc Deflin presented "Leading the Transition to Free Flow: From Early Deployments to Large-Scale Operations" in the session "Global Market Hotspots: Big Projects, Big Shifts, Big Lessons." His message was clear: free flow delivers compelling benefits, including less congestion, a simpler customer experience, safer roads, and more flexible road-pricing policies. But it demands a transformation across customers, operations, and technology. Although Marc focuses on the North American market, the Global Tolling Summit called for a wider lens, so he expanded his view beyond North America and illustrated this message with three international case studies: * France (SANEF): the country's first free-flow transformation, across the A13 and A14, with 29 gantries installed, 30 minutes less travel time, and 9.5 million liters of fuel saved per year. * United Kingdom (Dart Charge): a two-stage move at the Dartford Crossing, from ANPR accounts at toll booths to full free flow, with a 15% increase in daily crossings. * The Netherlands (A24): the first Dutch road designed and built as a tolled road, opened in 2024 as a free-flow tolled tunnel using only ANPR accounts. Technology and lessons for what comes next. Marc showed how new technologies made these transformations possible: ITS roadside equipment that detects and classifies vehicles in all conditions, cloud-hosted back offices built to scale, digital customer service channels, and artificial intelligence that improves detection, reduces manual work, and supports revenue protection. He closed with five lessons for designing the transformation: Digital First, Harder Migration, Customer Experience, New Business Model, and Inclusive Access, so tolling stays open to every driver, including those not yet digital. Next stop: Arlington, Texas. Emovis is already preparing to close the year at IBTTA's largest event, the 94th Annual Meeting & Exhibition, taking place in Arlington, Texas, November 12-15, 2026. Emovis look forward to continuing the conversation there. Emovis Hub Discover what's next in mobility.

Emovis successfully goes live with its Operational Back Office platform for VíasChile. Santiago, Chile - June 2026 - Emovis, a global leader in toll-based mobility solutions, announces the successful go-live of its Emovis Qualify - Operational Back Office (OBO) platform for VíasChile, marking a significant milestone in modernizing electronic toll transaction processing in the country. The solution includes, within its OBO environment, Emovis Verify - Manual Image Review (MIR) capabilities, enhancing operational accuracy and strengthening data quality across the broader ecosystem. The project was designed to replace VíasChile's legacy back-office environment with a next-generation operational platform capable of supporting increasingly complex free-flow tolling ecosystems. Delivered over a 24-month implementation program, the initiative encompassed defining operational business rules, conducting extensive parallel testing with the legacy platform, and implementing a carefully phased migration strategy to ensure operational continuity throughout the transition. Emovis worked closely with VíasChile throughout the entire implementation process, supporting every stage of the deployment and ensuring a seamless transition to the new operational environment while maintaining business continuity. This collaborative effort was further strengthened through a coordinated operation between Emovis experts across Europe and Latin America, ensuring a unified and high-performance delivery model. A key differentiator of the solution is its ability to operate in a multi-concession environment, simultaneously managing the Autopista Central and Nueva Aconcagua concessions through two parallel OBO engines that share the same core infrastructure, including databases and data management systems. The platform also integrates multiple roadside technologies, providing a unified operational framework across different tolling assets. The implementation followed a phased approach to guarantee a smooth migration. Before the final cutover, Emovis operated the new platform alongside the existing legacy OBO, allowing both organizations to validate transaction processing, optimize operational workflows, and ensure service reliability. In parallel, the project incorporates Emovis Verify, the company's advanced Manual Image Review (MIR) product, through a multi-provider operational model. The first go-live was completed for the Autopista Central concession, processing approximately 1.7 million daily transactions, followed by the successful activation of the Nueva Aconcagua concession, which manages around 500,000 daily transactions. Together, the deployment supports operations across 48 free-flow gantries, with 32 located on the Autopista Central network and 16 on the Nueva Aconcagua network. This milestone further strengthens Emovis' growing presence in Chile, where the company has established a regional hub in Santiago supporting its full range of operational capabilities, consolidating the country as one of Emovis' strategic centers for South America. The collaboration is also reinforced by the fact that VíasChile forms part of the Abertis concessions ecosystem in Chile, creating additional opportunities for innovation and operational excellence within the broader group. "The successful deployment of the Operational Back Office platform for VíasChile demonstrates Emovis' ability to deliver complex, high-volume tolling solutions while ensuring business continuity and operational performance. This project reflects our commitment to supporting transport operators as they transition toward smarter, more integrated mobility systems," said Joaquim Schjaer, CEO of Emovis Europe & Latam. As tolling networks evolve, Emovis remains focused on delivering intelligent back-office solutions that transform operational data into actionable insights, helping infrastructure operators maximize efficiency, protect revenues, and provide seamless journeys for millions of road users. In this context, Emovis continues to advance its Operational Back Office capabilities by integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, further enhancing automation, accuracy, and data-driven decision-making.

Emovis highlights the transformation of free-flow tolling at the ABC Forum in Madrid. On May 21 in Madrid, Spain, Emovis participated in the ABC Forum - Sustainable Mobility. This industry event analyzed the future of road infrastructure and mobility systems in an increasingly digital and sustainable environment. The forum was organized by ABC, one of Spain's longest-established national newspapers and widely recognized for fostering dialogue around economic and social transformation, in collaboration with Abertis Foundation, an organization founded in 1999 to promote initiatives related to road safety, environmental sustainability, and academic research across the regions where the Abertis Group operates. The event brought together institutional representatives, infrastructure operators, technology companies, and academic experts to discuss the future of mobility and its impact on economic and social development. In a context shaped by technological transformation and the transition toward more sustainable models, discussions focused on the challenges facing road networks, including improving the user experience, increasing operational efficiency, and accelerating modernization processes. Throughout the forum, innovation and service quality were highlighted as key drivers for developing smarter, more connected, and future-ready mobility systems. Within this context, Abertis Mobility Services (AMS) - the technology subsidiary of Abertis specialized in free-flow tolling, which operates commercially under the Emovis brand - participated in the panel discussion "User Experience in Road Infrastructure," represented by Pablo Odena, Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer at AMS - Emovis, alongside José Manuel Vassallo, Director of the Abertis-UPM Chair, Daniel Villanova, Managing Director of Autopistas (Abertis Group), and Núria Vinyoles, Data Science Manager at DRIBIA. During the session, Pablo structured his presentation around three key areas related to the evolution of tolling and digital mobility systems. First, he addressed the importance of user experience in toll collection management. He explained that while some countries still operate traditional barrier toll systems, Free Flow models enable uninterrupted traffic flow via automatic vehicle identification, eliminating stops. Pablo highlighted that Emovis, together with Abertis, has supported the transition from barrier-based tolling to free-flow systems across concessions in countries such as Chile, Puerto Rico, and France. He also emphasized that this shift represents not only a technological innovation but also a true business transformation, shifting operational complexity to the digital back office, where user experience and digital channels are essential to ensuring effective toll collection. Second, he highlighted how Emovis has been integrating artificial intelligence into its technological products and services for several years. He explained that AI has become a key enabler of digital transformation in the sector due to the high volume of transactions and repetitive administrative tasks involved. Pablo detailed how AI is already being applied in toll operations to improve automatic vehicle identification, optimize payment collection processes through customer segmentation based on payment behavior, and enhance customer service through virtual specialist assistants deployed in chatbots and voicebots. Third, he addressed the role of the connected vehicle in the future of tolling systems. Pablo explained that Emovis has more than a decade of experience in connected vehicle integration and has already operated programs in several U.S. states, including Virginia, Oregon, and Utah, where distance-based road usage charging programs are in place. In these models, connected vehicles transmit data directly to back-office systems, enabling more automated and frictionless tolling experiences.
