Australian road operator 600 Transurban Queensland has awarded 4984 Kapsch TrafficCom subsidiary Kapsch TrafficCom Australia the contract for a new project to fully replace the existing road tolling system for the Gateway and Logan Motorways in Queensland.

The scope of the project comprises supply of a new tolling system with 14 tolling points, and is valued at over US$10.5 million (14 million AUD).

Kapsch will deliver its latest tolling technology based on the company’s single gantry multi-lane free-flow (MLFF) platform and next-generation stereoscopic vision technology for both vehicle detection and classification (VDC) and automatic number plate recognition (ANPR).

The Gateway (including the Gateway Extension) and Logan Motorways comprise over 60 kilometres of motorway and see daily traffic in excess of 271,000 vehicles. They are part of Transurban Queensland’s go via network of Brisbane toll roads. The Gateway Motorway provides a Brisbane city bypass, north-south connection between the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast and access to the busy port of Brisbane and airport precincts. The Logan Motorway is located to the south-west of Brisbane City and provides an essential connection between Logan, Brisbane and Ipswich.
