Q-Free, a global provider of mobility solutions for smart city infrastructure, has announced the successful go-live of its tolling systems for the Harbour Crossing Tolling project in Sydney, Australia.
Under the contract, awarded through a RFP process, Q-Free provided the design, supply and installation of tolling roadside systems for the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Harbour Tunnel. The solution encompasses detection, classification and charging.
“We are thrilled to have all tolling points now live,” said Silje Troseth, VP of APAC and general manager of Australia.
“This was a particularly challenging and rewarding project as we used technological innovation to preserve the site’s iconic heritage with a seamless solution while addressing the changing demands of an ever-expanding metropolis.”
The Sydney Harbour Crossings are a major thoroughfare that connect the city’s business district and North Shore, serving more than 40 million vehicle crossings annually for drivers, commuters, cyclists, and pedestrians.
According to Q-Free, the bridge typically sees more than 150,000 vehicle crossings daily, making it one of the busiest roads in Australia.
The Harbour Crossing work forms part of the Warringah Freeway Upgrade Project, which aims to transform traffic flow on one of Australia’s most congested and complicated roads.
The initiative aims to provide a swifter and more convenient driving experience for daily commuters and streamline toll collection for Transport for New South Wales.
