Q-Free has signed a contract with Statens Vegvesen - Norwegian Public Roads Administration - to develop and operate an intelligent transportation system server.

The software, which will replace a pilot software from 2019, offers significantly higher throughput, enhanced robustness and better error handling.

The contract includes an operations component as a service provided by Q-Free, said Ola Martin Lykkja, Q-Free’s project manager of the company’s RUC 2.0 team - Road User Charging 2.0.

“This project highlights [Statens Vegvesen’s] dedication to adopting C-ITS technology and moving from research to full production. It’s an exciting opportunity for Q-Free to showcase our expertise and help bring safer, smarter transport systems to life,” said Lykkja, who has 16 years working with C-ITS technology.

Q-Free is based in Trondheim, Norway.
