AxxonSoft powers security monitoring for Pan-American Highway
Every year, 4 million vehicles pass through nine tollbooths on Panavial-operated roads. Considering the enormous traffic flows and high risk of fraud, Panavial management decided to install the Axxon PSIM at the company’s tollbooths. Axxon PSIM is designed for creating sophisticated security systems of any scale and can be customized for site requirements, enabling clients to mix and match only the features needed for a particular project.
The Pan-American Highway is the world's longest motorable road, connecting the U.S. and Canada with Latin America. Extending from the North Slope of Alaska to the southern tip of South America, the highway extends approximately 30,000 miles (48,000 kilometers) – greater than the circumference of the earth. Construction started in 1923 and, in some stretches, continues to this day. This is a massive project to be sure. But it is also a massive maintenance task. Imagine trying to service and secure such a highway without the help of video surveillance! This was the situation faced by Panavial when the company decided to turn to AxxonSoft for physical security information management software that met all of their security needs – and more.
