Q-Free says it has won its "largest deal in Australia, both financially and in scale" since it began operating there in 1999.

With an unnamed client, and a location identified only as "a major Australian toll road", the deal involves the design, development, supply and implementation of a new roadside multi-lane free-flow tolling system replacing "non-Q-Free equipment" on 37 gantries. 

The contract comes with a 12-year service and maintenance agreement.

“We are extremely proud to be selected as the roadside tolling system provider for this exciting project," says Silje Troseth, Q-Free vice president APAC. 

"It’s rewarding to see our efforts to expand our presence and market share through globally-recognised technology and local expertise beginning to bear fruit. We look forward to collaborating closely with the client for many years to come!” 

Q-Free's recent Australian projects include Transport for New South Wales’ Sydney Harbour Bridge and Tunnel, Transurban’s Cross City Tunnel in Sydney, and the Legacy Way in Brisbane.

Mark Talbot, Q-Free CEO, says: “This win is a testament to our team’s perseverance, commitment to understand the customer’s needs, and their ability to effectively leverage our value chain partners to quickly deliver the best solutions.”

Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi
