Many cities around the world are actively looking to address the negative consequences of having too many vehicles on the road. These include congestion, air pollution, excessive noise, and an increase in road traffic accidents.
Kapsch TrafficCom's uniquely flexible urban access solution addresses all these challenges by incentivising drivers to change their behaviour. It enables cities to manage traffic towards sustainable models of transport by creating various types of incentive zones to suit different aims and objectives.
Cities around the world know that they need to combat the increasingly critical challenges of traffic congestion. However, the precise needs of individual cities are always unique, and most cities need to implement different schemes in different areas.
With our unique urban access solutions, we can enable them to change driving behaviours with a range of incentivise schemes.
In some circumstances, for example, we can help cities reduce congestion by restricting the vehicle that can enter a particular area (Limited Access Zone) or for charging to drive at certain times (Congestion Charging Zones). In other cases, we help cities focus on reducing traffic pollution by setting and enforcing Clean Air Zones.
Our unique approach enables us to use a single tolling platform to provide technical solutions for all these different urban schemes as well as meeting the tolling needs for those driving between cities.
As an industry leader for tolling solutions, we can deliver a complete end-to-end solution including state-of-the-art roadside hardware and software. Alternatively, in cases where existing roadside infrastructure already exists, we can provide just the back office suite including our Operational Back Office and Enforcement Back Office. These can be deployed either via the cloud or on-premises.
In either case, our solution features outstanding Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) identification rates thanks to our use of second generation optical character recognition (OCR) technology. Moreover, we enable cities to process millions of vehicles each and every day.
With congestion charging, Clean Air Zones or zero-emission zones, you could use a strong lever to significantly reduce traffic emissions. Governments and cities are starting to become active, but there is a lot of room for improvement, especially in urban areas. The technology is there.
