Austria’s highway and expressway operator 750 ASFINAG (Autobahnen-und-Schnellstrassen-Finanzierungs-Aktiengesellschaft) has awarded 4984 Kapsch TrafficCom the contract to implement and operate the GO Maut 2.0 Mauttechnik toll collection system (national toll collection system for vehicles over 3.5 metric tons).

The contract comprises modernising roadside infrastructure at around 500 locations and upgrading the control centre up to the latest technological standards.

Instead of two gantries, future roadside toll enforcement will only require a single enforcement gantry, which will carry the radio beacons and cameras for number plate recognition as well as an optical vehicle classification system designed for use in a national toll collection system for the first time. The system uses high-resolution video cameras and stereo video imaging processing technologies to determine the vehicle class and number of axes on each vehicle subject to tolls.

Work is due to begin immediately and once completed, technical operation of the system will run for a period of ten years, with the option of five one-year extensions.

    Q-Free’s Marco Sinnema looks at how the commoditisation of high-quality vision-based solutions is widening their application. Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi

  • The UK’s busiest crossing adopts free flow charging

    Colin Sowman looks at the transition to free-flow charging on the Dartford Crossing, a notorious congestion blackspot on the UK motorway network. The Dartford Crossing, where London’s orbital M25 motorway crosses the lower reaches of the River Thames 32km (20 miles) to the east of Central London, has long been a major source of congestion. Now, to alleviate the congestion caused by some 50 million crossings per year, the Highways Agency has adopted a free-flow charging system - but the Crossing’s location a
