Austria’s 43 Efkon Group has been awarded a contract from Austrian road operator 750 ASFINAG for the upgrading of the national toll sticker monitoring system, Automatische Vignettenkontrolle (AVK).
ASFINAG has been using Efkon’s AVK systems since 2010 to provide fully automatic identification of toll violators; mobile camera systems overlook one lane of the roadway and photograph the front view of all passing vehicles. The images are then checked for the existence of a valid toll sticker.
Efkon’s new systems, with high precision image analysis, have enabled a significant increase in the recognition and enforcement rate, even in difficult light and weather conditions and for vehicles travelling in excess of the speed limit. The new system is even capable of effortlessly capturing and reading the small 5 mm punched holes in the two-month and ten-day variants of the Austrian toll sticker for passenger cars.
“We have proven our competence in automatic enforcement and monitoring and see us as the clear technology and quality leader. The market potential in this segment is far from being exhausted and we are still at the beginning of our expansion and integration opportunities,” says Robert Monsberger, chief technology officer of Efkon.
