Eastlink is a 39km toll road operated by ConnectEast, that runs through the eastern and south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. 

It was constructed in 2008 and observes more of a million vehicle passages per day, making it one of the busiest tollway operations in the country. The original tolling system at the time relied on a high on-board units, also known as tags, to be operational to determine the identity of the vehicle for charging purposes, as well as an Optical Character Reading (OCR) engine that would determine the license plate number (LPN) for those transactions corresponding to vehicles without a tag. This resulted in a large number of images that needed to be manually reviewed and validated by operators.

• 2200 km of Free-Flow Tolling
• Fully integrated ANPR-based vehicle identification system
• Very low demand for manual interventions
• Purely video-based vehicle classification as well as trailer detection
• A redundant operational and enforcement back office
• 250,000 on-board units with another optional 250,000
• Dependency of tolling tariffs on emission classes
• ANPR identification system to check the emission-based deduction validity
• Safe and unimpeded transit capability with a particular focus on connecting with the other EU member states
• Post implementation: monitoring, technical support and system maintenance

• 513,350,000 electronic transactions per year
• MLFF RSS system -, 32 gantries, 100 toll lanes
• 1.4 million Tags
• Interoperability module
• Evergreen Maintenance Contract

• Enabling fair charging and allowing for a smooth migration towards free-flow tolling
• A dedicated tolling and enforcement equipment for 30 MLFF
• Rebate Gantries, including the respective software, licenses and spare parts
• A central proxy to combine the Detection System with the existing Toll Back Office system operated by the concessionaire
• A 24/7 Real Time Monitoring System and technical support (4th level)
• Entry and exit ramps equipped with Roadside Systems (RSS) for detection and classification of passing vehicles
• The system was successfully implemented, tested and handed over to the client on July 7, 2020 and was put into operation on December 15, 2020 to the full satisfaction of our client IBI and the concessionaire Olympia Odos.

• EcoTrafiX platform upgrade to version 3.3
• 26 Full Matrix, Full Color Variable Message Panels
• 6 speed cameras with configurable instantaneous display panel
• 2 Dynamic Weighing Stations category A5 (+-5% accuracy)
• 6 thermal cameras in low visibility fog locations
• 36 HD PTZ cameras with infrared illuminators
• 4 Visibilimeters for foggy areas
• 12 Monumental tariffs for toll plazas
• Civil works for the adequacy of areas to install the equipment

• Kapsch solution is based on the VDX2i-symmetric all-in-one sensor. A stereoscopic camera for vehicle detection and classification and front and rear license plate cameras.
• The system has got full active-active redundancy. If one VDX2i-sensor fails, the system still provides full vehicle detection and image capture functionality with full performance. Both roadside controllers are active and are collecting data in parallel from all VDX2i-sensors.
