Sanral incident raises e-toll questions

The Justice Project South Africa said that they were surprised that a single incident managed to bring Sanral’s “technological masterpiece” of e-tolling to a grinding halt

Such waste of money to try and build a system to recuperate initial cost spent on the roads. Not to mention the ongoing support (employment/IT/Hardware/Admin etc) costs, when they knew it was going to be hard to be accepted by anyone.

Let's see how much more they can waste and upset more people.

Vusi Moaner just stated on Power FM that tolling was not interrupted because of the incident.

So he just didn't have a cooking clue wtf he was talking about. He's just the country's worst spokesperson...

If it wasn't interrupted, and anybody is billed for the period in question, what then...loadshedding on the eToll power lines?

Clearly my imagination is lacking, because I struggle to come up one or two good pretend stories. They manage about a dozen, daily.

The gantries system doesn't require manual intervention to record cars passing through as Vusi said, you will get billed for this afternoon's use.

The headline corrected:

SANRAL can...

I'm sure the gantries have their own transaction storage and bulk uploading capabilities. It is all automated. The ops centre is mostly there to monitor incidents, like links that are down, system error codes, flagged incidents and monitoring the system.

I doubt any toll transactions were lost.

Your assumptions regarding the gantries' capabilities are correct. I'd be very surprised if they lost any data.

This is very confusing, so the previous reports of the power for the entire SANRAL office being cut is not accurate?
