Highways and Toll Stations
Transport & Infrastructure
Toll booths are becoming increasingly automated and unmanned. If the barrier fails to rise, drivers need to be able to summon assistance without delay. Roadside Emergency Help Points are a common and expected sight along our highways. Distances are great and network solutions therefore essential. Commend provides voice and video connections between the Control Room and the public, giving the operator a comprehensive overview of the situation and full control over the system’s functionalities. Commend’s proven vandal resistant Intercom Stations are specifically designed to handle both the extremely high roadside noise levels and extreme weather conditions.
