Kapsch TrafficCom announced that I-77 Mobility Partners awarded it a contract to be the toll system provider and system integrator for the I-77 Express Lanes project in North Carolina. Kapsch will design, deploy and maintain “all tolling and traffic management hardware and field systems, including the Toll Collection System (TCS), Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), and Network Communication System (NCS)” for the 26-mile-long facility. Kapsch adds, “As part of a fully-automated managed lanes setup, these integrated components will create a ‘market effect’ on the roadway by enabling the price of the express lanes to adjust according to traffic volume.”
