Eastlink, AIMES - IPS
FactsheetFactsheetEastlink 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.

Tolling technologies are transforming the way roads are being used and managed
In cities, low emission zones are being introduced to improve air quality. At a national level, meanwhile, countries and individuals are forging a path to a greener future by adopting hybrid, electric, and lower emission vehicles. This threatens to undermine the road taxes that have traditionally funded road infrastructure projects.
In both cases new, innovative approaches to charging for road use are required.
With the right tolling strategy and Kapsch TrafficCom technology solutions, authorities can deliver more value for road users than ever before. And automated tolling technologies can improve operational efficiency in ways that were previously impossible.
What’s more, because we provide tolling solutions in regions across the world, we can draw upon a unique breadth of road user charging experience – which directly feeds and influences our product and solution design.
