Kapsch to deploy tolling roadside systems in Australia

In Melbourne, Kapsch’s tolling technology will be utilised in the West Gate Tunnel Project, an initiative which seeks to establish a second river crossing in the city and remove thousands of trucks from residential streets. Part of an agreement between two contractors: CPB Contractors 7770 John Holland Joint Venture (CPBJH JV), the full scope of the contract includes a single gantry multi-lane free-flow platform and stereoscopic vision technology for vehicle detection and classification and automatic number plate recognition.

LSB JV comprises Lendlease Engineering, Samsung C&T and Bouygues Construction Australia – a subsidiary of Bouygues Travaux Publics.
