The company will present innovative solutions like DYNAC, its advanced traffic management system, the all new Connected Next on-board unit (OBU) with Bluetooth Smart, as well as the Kapsch eVignette (electronic vignette) solution.

Connected Next links the OBU to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, allowing drivers to read and update the data stored in the OBU, as well as review and manage their toll payments, as well as retrieve data from the tolling system, such as account or traffic information and voice messages. A user-friendly interface makes the tolling processes and payments transparent to drivers.
