Q-Free’s Intrada Insight solution is to be used by Conduent Transportation in a contract with New York tolling agencies.

Q-Free insists the automated number plate reading (ANPR) and manual image review application software will improve video toll collection read accuracy, reducing toll client billing errors and cutting costs. 

The contract will be worth 15-18 MNOK ($1.7m - $2.1m), depending on whether extension options are exercised by Conduent.

Under the 21-month initial deal, the system will process up to 200 million video-based licence plate transactions per year with 99.95% accuracy and read automation rate, Q-Free says.

Intrada Insight applies advanced network learning and machine image processing technologies along with manual image review processes to efficiently automate plate reads and is designed to work across any size of toll network.

Q-Free has signed a number of deals recently, including Weigh in Motion contracts worth 30 MNOK ($3.5m) in Ukraine and Saudi Arabia.

The firm also won a four-year frame agreement with Vegfinans, a regional toll road company in Norway. 

The 30 MNOK ($3.5m) contract comprises delivery of toll stations in the eastern part of the country plus service and maintenance for up to 15 years.

    HNTB’s Rick Herrington and Brad Guilmino put the case for tolling. Tolling is becoming the 21st century solution of choice for generating additional user-based transportation revenue. The proven funding source is being seriously considered for expanded use by cities, states and even the federal government with support from elected officials across the political spectrum. In fact, with each federal transportation reauthorisation, tolling restrictions have been relaxed.

    An impending move to free-flow charging prompted a search for automated dangerous goods identification and over-height detection systems at the Thames Crossing to the east of London. Manned toll booths are increasingly being consigned to history by the onslaught of all-electronic charging. However, a secondary function of the traditional manned plazas has been to prevent non-compliant vehicles using the facility or to tell a driver that that they need to use a specific lane or wait for an escort.
