590 Autotoll, Hong Kong’s leading ITS and RFID services provider in the transport and logistics sectors, has won contracts for three projects for the 2117 Hong Kong Transport Department.

In the first, Autotoll and the 2119 Hong Kong Polytechnic University have jointly developed a system to provide current traffic information to the public on the Transport Department’s (TD) website: the Traffic Speed Map shows where major roads and routes in Hong Kong are
flowing freely.

Meanwhile, the Journey Time Indication System, another significant TD project undertaken by Autotoll, is scheduled to be completed within the first half of 2010. Live traffic data collected using RFID-based automatic vehicle identification and video imaging technologies will be processed to generate estimated cross-harbour journey times between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and displayed on public journey time indicators. Hong Kong residents will also be able to access the information via an interactive voice response system, PDAs or the Internet.

Autotoll was also recently awarded a contract by TD to install and maintain, for eight years, five speed map panels in the New Territories to disseminate traffic congestion levels and estimated travel times.
