4984 Kapsch TrafficCom has been appointed to deliver two high profile electronic tolling projects in Australia. The contracts will see Kapsch TrafficCom deliver multi-lane free-flow (MLFF) tolling solutions on the Eastern Distributor toll road in Sydney and the Legacy Way toll road in Brisbane using Kapsch multi-lane free-flow single gantry technology.

Kapsch TrafficCom’s single gantry solution will be deployed in both projects and to provide stereoscopic vehicle detection and classification, front and rear licence plate recognition and 5.8GHz CEN DSRC communications with the vehicle’s on-board unit.

Kapsch already provides the tolling system on Brisbane’s Go-Between and will now implement a tolling solution for the city council’s new 4.6 kilometre road tunnel that will connect the Western Freeway at Toowong with the Inner City Bypass (ICB) at Kelvin Grove which is due to open in 2015.

The new route is designed to halve peak hour travel times between the Centenary Bridge and the Inner City Bypass. For the new tunnel Kapsch will deliver a single span gantry capable of tolling both directions of travel at the western portal.

Sydney’s eastern distributor road, where Kapsch’s tolling solution will go live at the end of 2014, is an important link within Sydney's motorway system, providing access to more than 160 kilometres of motorways, freeways and other main roads.

In addition to these two contracts, Kapsch has also begun operation of a complete new vehicle tolling solution on the M5 south west motorway in Sydney. This project was implemented, tested and delivered in less than a year and replaces the previous ageing toll system. Kapsch was responsible for the complete installation of the vehicle tolling system, both DSRC and video, the gantry design using a single gantry solution and manufacturing. The solution also included the delivery of a part of the back office system which allows the toll operator to record, view, and process vehicle journeys.
 
“Winning these contracts is a great endorsement of the strength of our multi-lane free- flow tolling solutions and we look forward to providing a service to the crucial roads infrastructure of two of Australia’s most iconic cities”, commented Soren Tellegen, managing director at Kapsch TrafficCom Australia. “It is great to build on our relationship with the management team of the Eastern Distributor tunnel and we look forward to forging an even deeper relationship with Brisbane City Council.”

Despite such manifest advantages and widespread interest, this has failed to translate into numerous large-scale deplo
