81 Kapsch is to equip 30 toll rebate stations on the Olympia Odos motorway in Greece.

The company says these will provide a distance-based pricing model for drivers in the country.

Olympia Odos has links to the cities of Athens, Corinth and the port city of Patras on the Peloponnese, via 202km of motorway.

The toll stations offer a rebate to road users if they do not travel the full distance corresponding to an average distance charging zone, Kapsch adds.

Additionally, the solution will include the development of 30 entry and exit ramps, equipped with full tolling and enforcement stations for detection and classification of passing vehicles. The journeys will be calculated by roadside systems and those used in conventional plazas to calculate the rebate amount.

Kapsch is to provide ongoing technical support for the service and maintenance of the stations following an agreement with design and technology company 5897 IBI Group
