Smarter, Safer Mobility in North America

The integrated electronic toll road for the Washington State Department of Transportation

• Kapsch dynamic pricing solution
• Installed devices along the entire length of the corridor
• True image-based trip building
• Toll amounts are deducted electronically or billed by mail – no toll booths

The Connected Vehicle Environment (CVE) project, which started in 2016, aims to increase transportation mobility, safety, and efficiency for local residents in the city of Columbus in Ohio. The CVE integrates connected vehicles into the city’s transportation environment by installing in-vehicle and roadside technology, and by deploying CV applications that will enable enhanced safety and mobility features.

• Kapsch was chosen to design, build and support the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s Next Generation Agency-Wide Transportation Management Software. The contract consists of a two-year installation phase and a two-year maintenance phase base term followed by one additional two-year optional maintenance period.
• Kapsch successfully merged 21 independent traffic and facility management data systems into a single enterprise DYNAC-based ATMS managing the Authority’s vital “Gateways to the Nation” transportation assets including the George Washington, Bayonne, and Goethals Bridges & Outerbridge Crossing, Lincoln & Holland Tunnels, LaGuardia, JFK International & Newark Liberty International Airports and the Port Newark- Elizabeth Marine Terminal.

The unique geography of the Florida Keys and its role as a vital evacuation route present distinct challenges in ensuring optimal safety and smooth traffic flow for all road users. Traditional infrastructure solutions often lack the dynamic, real-time management capabilities needed for diverse traffic scenarios, emergency response, and proactive safety measures. 

The emergence of Connected Vehicle (CV) technology offers a powerful solution. By integrating advanced communication systems with existing infrastructure, FDOT can develop a "smart corridor." This allows for real-time information delivery, prioritization of essential services, and active prevention of collisions, all while improving overall traffic flow. 

• Key Enabler: Kapsch's CV solution including Kapsch RSUs communicating with up to 250 third-party OBU, Connected Mobility Control Center (CMCC) for monitoring and managing CV infrastructure and Kapsch’s network-V2X mobile application for managing safety-awareness use cases. 
• Key Use Cases: Freight Signal Priority, Emergency Vehicle Preemption, Transit Signal Priority, Drawbridge Alerts, Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety, Vehicle-to-Vehicle Safety, Weigh Station Alerts. 
• 100+ mile stretch of US 1

The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) has awarded Kapsch TrafficCom a contract to replace and maintain all roadside tolling equipment in the mixed-mode, cash, and express toll lanes under MDTA management. The contract includes hardware upgrades at all MDTA bridge and tunnel facilities, including the iconic William Preston Lane Memorial Bay Bridge and the Fort McHenry Tunnel, as well as along the Intercounty Connector/MD 200 and I-95 Express Lanes. 

The new roadside equipment will include RFID toll readers, automated license place recognition (ALPR) cameras, and scanners in the mixed-mode lanes. In addition, Kapsch will install its groundbreaking stereoscopic Vehicle Detection and Classification sensor (nVDC) in the all-electronic toll (AET) lanes. 

Kapsch TrafficCom was chosen by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) to deliver the on-road toll  systems for two tolled Express Lanes. 
The 15 Express Lanes cover 15 miles in each direction on I-15 in Riverside County,  California, between Eastvale/Jurupa Valley to Corona and the 91 Express Lanes cover 10 miles in each direction on SR-91  between the Orange/Riverside County line and the I-15.

The Kapsch TrafficCom solution is based on an end-to-end All Electronic Tolling Express Lanes system and delivered: 

• 15 variable message signs (on the roadside)
• 27 CCTV cameras  for enforcement
• 39 microwave vehicle detectors.

The LBJ Express, NTE Express and NTE 35W Express project encompasses 36.7 miles of expanded frontage lanes, general purpose lanes, and TEXpress managed lanes across north Dallas and Fort Worth. 

These dynamically-priced toll lanes are intended to ensure a minimum predictable driving speed of 50 mph to drivers who elect to pay for expedited travel. The project also includes a lower section of approximately five miles through north Dallas, where the tolled managed lanes run under the general purpose lanes in an open tunnel. 

Design, install, and implement the field systems as a key piece of a fully integrated managed lanes system for three projects in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The field systems include the Toll Collection System (TCS), an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and a fully redundant Network Communication System (NCS) used to manage all toll and traffic operations in real-time. 

​In 2013, Kapsch TrafficCom was selected through a competitive bidding process by New York State Thruway Authority to design, develop, test, install, and maintain key components of a cashless tolling system at four locations, with additional provision for Open Road Tolling lanes at other plazas on the network. 

• Kapsch's single-gantry all-electronic toll (AET) solution
• Use of the Kapsch vehicle detection and classification sensor (NVDC)
• Staging facility and configuration laboratory in order to centralize operations
• Supporting deployments at up to six sites in parallel across different sections of the state
• Central host system at the NYSTA headquarters and disaster recovery backup system at remote location
• To be maintained without requiring any lane closures
• 51 new single-gantry toll facilities and 148 lanes of toll equipment along the NYSTA highways

Gwinnett County, a rapidly expanding area in Metro Atlanta, is home to one of the largest connected vehicle deployments in the United States and continues to expand via its Connected Vehicle Technology Master Plan. Kapsch delivered a turnkey Orchestrated Connected Corridor solution, leveraging Connected Mobility Control Center (CMCC) for centralized asset oversight and remote configuration. 
Kapsch provided comprehensive support, from design planning and requirements development to on-site technical expertise for OBU installation, traffic signal controller integration, and end-to-end system testing, ensuring successful operational transition across nearly 400 intersections. 

• Over 100 Kapsch OBUs facilitated integration with 90+ non-Kapsch RSUs - ensuring system-wide interoperability.
• Key applications implemented include Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP), Transit Signal Priority (TSP), Construction and Maintenance Vehicle Alerts, Pedestrian Presence Alerts, and Rail Intersection Blocked Alerts. 
• A Virtual Roadside Unit (vRSU) system extends V2X capabilities over 4G-LTE, with a clear pathway to 5G.
