6499 Kapsch TraffiCom Australia has announced that it is to install a new open road tolling system on Sydney’s M5 south west motorway.  The contract, worth approximately US$10,693,841, has been awarded by Australia’s Interlink Roads, which, in partnership with the New South Wales Government, has developed a programme of enhancements to the motorway to provide three lanes in each direction.

The existing dual lane tolling system will be replaced by an open road configuration allowing free flowing traffic across all six lanes on the mainline motorway section,
together with six additional tolling points on the nearby on and off ramps to capture feeder traffic.

The new system comprises replacement roadside equipment plus a new back-office system that incorporates Kapsch’s image processing capability to provide higher levels of accuracy and automation on image-based tolling transactions.
