8186 Matsur, based in the USA and a subsidiary of Russian company Vzglyad, will use the 2015 ITS World Congress to highlight ElecTraCop, its united technological platform for ITS, based on RFID technologies.

Matsur says the platform is a multi-functional solution to ITS-related issues, providing a single technical means for traffic control and management, parking control, traffic violations monitoring, etc. All functions are automatic and don't require human involvement. The system is highly versatile and scalable from a single junction, to a district, city, region, or even a country.

The technical basis of the system consists of underground antenna readers as well as electronic licence plates to replace standard government-issued ones.

A new licence plate can serve both as a unique identification device for the vehicle/driver, since it contains the necessary data, and, for example, as an electronic wallet to pay for different services, such as toll road usage or parking.

    A common assumption, even amongst informed observers, is that there’s but a handful of urban charging schemes in operation around the world and scant prospect of that changing any time soon. Larger city-sized schemes such as Singapore, London and Stockholm come readily to mind but if we take a wider view and also consider urban access control and Low Emission Zones (LEZs) then the picture changes rather radically. There is a notable concentration of such schemes in Europe but worldwide the number is comfort

    A programme modernising road tolling equipment on Turkey’s national highway network has resulted in what is arguably Europe’s most advanced toll system, reports Jon Masters. Turkey has introduced a new system of technology for charging for use of its 2000km national highway network, heralded as the first full-scale use of passive RFID tags for electronic open road tolling in Europe. The new ‘Fast Passing System’ (HGS) is an upgrade of Turkey’s existing Automatic Passing System (OGS) technology, which uses
