The toll management software has 50 mobile, 295 stationary and 100 weighted-in-motion control points, which already capture the speed limit. This was said by the director of the National Toll Administration Georgi Temelkov today at a briefing in the building of the National Toll Administration, where the working method of the electronic toll collection system was demonstrated.
The system monitors sales, traffic, traffic jams at border crossings, the load on the axles of each motor vehicle and has recently captured the speed limit as well, announced the Chairman of the Management Board of the Road Infrastructure Agency, Eng. Yasen Yordanov. He explained that all the innovations are used to reduce road trauma, because all the stationary control points make full coverage of the roads throughout the country.

“500 are gas station kiosks selling vignettes across the country. Every minute and every day information comes in on the number of passes and sales, with the data broken down into categories and classes on a daily basis. This shows us how revenue and sales are developing. To at this hour today, the revenues from the toll system are BGN 696,467,200, with expectations that the figure will grow to BGN 800 million by the end of the year,” announced Temelkov. He clarified that the goal of NTU is to collect more funds from sales and not from fines, but added: “Agree that without control there will be no sales.”

The image material that the system offers for a speeding offense will include four images. “The tests showed that the program can be certified after minor software changes,” Temelkov also said and promised: “It will take time, but we are on the way to success with this introduction as well.” The Bulgarian Institute of Meteorology is expected to certify NTU’s speeding software.
Assoc. Georgi Balabanov, an external expert at the National Toll Administration clearly demonstrates in real time how the toll monitoring control works and reports speeding offenders. “Electronic law enforcement of the hundred weighted-in-motion checkpoints that monitor truck axle overloading on the road will be launched very soon,” Balabanov said. It showed a truck moving in real-time and the system showed an out of bounds load on the road, reading 54 tonnes.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the “Customs” agency, the National Revenue Agency (NAA) also have this data from the system, Temelkov specified. The main task of the system is to monitor tolls, but other functionalities such as speed limit and load enforcement are useful and we use them, Balabanov explained.
“According to the recognition of other European colleagues, Bulgaria has one of the most modern toll systems, manages to process a huge amount of data, law enforcement and verification have been introduced, we also have a call center for consumers and for the fourth year in a row we are doing quite well according to the changes and the dynamics that follow the needs of society,” said Temelkov.
The software of the national toll administration also helps with information on winter cleaning, provides timely data on queues at the country’s customs border points, it became clear from the briefing.
