Sirit Installs First Electronic Vehicle Monitoring System in Mexico

Sirit Inc., along with its partner, Axiompass, a leading integrator and supplier of tolling equipment and RFID systems across Mexico, announced the successful implementation of the first electronic vehicle registration (EVR) monitoring system in Mexico. The system was inaugurated by Mexican President Felipe Calderón today.

Utilizing Sirit’s stationary automatic vehicle identification (AVI) monitoring technology, vehicles are tracked as they pass through the Alpuyeca toll plaza and mobile AVI monitoring technology in Cuernavaca, both in the State of Morelos.

Sirit’s reader and lane controller technology read the REPUVE (National Public Vehicle Registry) tag while cameras also capture an image of the license plate. The data is then transmitted to a central database which matches the data to vehicles of interest. This enables the various regional enforcement agencies to recognize identified vehicles on a watch list and take appropriate action as the vehicle travels along the highway.

Initial plans suggest this monitoring system will be implemented throughout the State of Morelos, with the potential for additional states to be implemented before year end through various RFP processes.

“I am very impressed with the sophistication and ease of implementation of Sirit’s technology which enabled the entire system to be installed in under a month,” commented José Antonio Romero Santoyo, vice president operations, Axiompass. “The system is functioning beyond expectations and can be easily integrated into similar installations throughout Mexico.”

“I am very excited that the Secretaria de Seguridad Publica has chosen Sirit’s technology for their first installation. We have leveraged our 15 years of experience from the installation and operation of various tolls roads throughout the United States, such as the SR 91 toll road in southern California, and applied our knowledge to this new system in Mexico,” added Wolf Bielas, president Latin America, Sirit.
