Canada-based Quarterhill has completed its acquisition of Red Fox ID.

"The Red Fox transaction met both our strategic and financial criteria for an acquisition, and we are pleased to welcome their team," said Chuck Myers, CEO of Quarterhill. 

The English company provides automatic vehicle detection and classification (AVDC) software, which allows the tolling industry to identify and charge vehicles as they enter and leave tolling facilities.

The firm's Quantum software platform can process data from both Lidar and in-pavement inductive loops.

Myers says this means the firm is "an ideal fit with our increasing focus on technology as a differentiator in the market" and Quarterhill looks forward "to investing further in their product platform and capabilities".

    Mobility pricing is the best way of sustaining and enhancing mobility, argues Moving Forward Consulting’s Josef Czako. Mobility pricing (MP) is effectively the culmination of the ‘user pays’ principle and has been referred to in many policy discussions about electronic toll collection, road user charging (RUC), and pricing. MP not only reflects the ‘use more, pay more’ nature of RUC, it also takes account of the external cost of journeys including pollution, noise, the cost of congestion and accidents.
