Sumario:This thesis addresses the integration of a new banknote recycler into Autopistas del Atlántico S.A.'s (AUDASA) existing toll payment machines. Motivated by the need to maintain operational efficiency amidst the obsolescence of current hardware, the study aims to seamlessly integrate the new device into the current tolling software. During the integration many problems have been addressed, like the need to control two devices at the same time which is something not supported by the manufacturer of the device. Successful deployment across multiple highways in Spain demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the integration, offering a pathway for continued innovation in toll payment systems.
