Kapsch TraffiCom Russia has been successful in winning four contracts in Russia, which the company says is strategically important for it’s ITS business.

The company will provide the access control system for restricted traffic areas for the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. The contract includes the supply and installation of fourteen access points and two outlets with the necessary hardware and software and technical support for the duration of the Games.

Kapsch has also installed two weigh-in-motion stations on the highway connecting Kazan and Samara. Three lanes are equipped with special sensors, cameras and laser scanners to determine the weight of overloaded vehicles using the road.

Kapsch will also supply 30,000 on-board units (OBU) to Russian road operator Glavnaya Doroga bypass connection from Odintsovo, and a further 3,000 to United Toll Systems for use on the M4 highway between Moscow and the Black Sea.

"Russia is one of the largest and fastest growing markets in the world and strategically essential for Kapsch," said Michael Weber, member of the board of 4984 Kapsch TrafficCom Russia, "so we are very excited about these four projects and the confidence that our Russian clients have in us.”

    High-speed weigh-in-motion is starting to make its mark on both sides of the Atlantic. As a transit country the Czech Republic experiences a large number of overloaded vehicles, which greatly increase highway maintenance costs. This prompted its Transport Ministry to trial an extension of the capabilities of the existing truck tolling system to allow the dynamic high-speed weighing of cargo vehicles. In effect the tolling enforcement gantries become weigh-in-motion (WIM) locations.
