Kapsch TrafficCom Expands Satellite Tolling to ASEAN

Kapsch TrafficCom's Satellite Tolling Technology Reaches New Heights in Europe and Beyond \\[Kapsch TrafficCom](https://www.kapsch.net/traffic/) has successfully expanded its Geo Location Platform (GLP) for satellite-based tolling to the Netherlands, marking a significant step in the company's European expansion. The GLP, which is already operational in Belgium and Bulgaria, is now being used to create tolling transactions through Kapsch's advanced map-matching, trip-building, and tolling contextualization capabilities. This development not only highlights the robustness of Kapsch's technology but also opens up new possibilities for similar systems in Southeast Asia. \\[Justin Hamilton, Director of Location-Based Charging at Kapsch TrafficCom, emphasized the importance of this milestone: “The deployment in the Netherlands demonstrates that our technology can meet the high standards of accuracy and reliability required by authorities and service providers.” With the GLP now operating in multiple European countries, Kapsch is showcasing its ability to deliver consistent and reliable satellite tolling solutions across different regulatory environments and road networks. \\For ASEAN countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia, this could mean a significant shift in how tolling and road user charging are managed. The GLP's device-agnostic architecture allows for flexibility in integrating various data sources, making it a versatile solution for different national schemes. In densely populated urban areas such as Bangkok, Hanoi, Jakarta, and Kuala Lumpur, where traffic management is a critical issue, the GLP could provide a more efficient and accurate way to manage tolling and road usage. \\The GLP receives location data from GNSS-enabled devices, smartphones, connected vehicles, or on-board units, and uses map-matching technology to identify road usage, create rated trip reports, and generate charge reports for further processing and billing. This system is particularly effective in complex road networks, such as the dense Brussels road network, where maximum accuracy is essential. \\In addition to tolling, the GLP can support other location-based business applications, including fleet management and EETS (European Electronic Toll Service) services. This versatility makes it an attractive solution for ASEAN countries looking to modernize their transportation infrastructure. For example, in Thailand, the GLP could be used to implement more flexible and policy-driven charging systems, such as CO₂ tolling, which is already supported by Kapsch in Belgium and Bulgaria. \\As ASEAN countries continue to develop and expand their transportation networks, the adoption of advanced technologies like the GLP could lead to more efficient and sustainable road usage. By leveraging satellite tolling, these countries can better manage traffic, reduce congestion, and improve overall road safety. \\For factory buyers in ASEAN, the potential benefits of adopting Kapsch's GLP are clear. Improved traffic management and more efficient tolling systems can lead to reduced transportation costs, faster delivery times, and a more reliable supply chain. As Kapsch continues to expand its footprint in Europe and beyond, it is well-positioned to bring these benefits to the ASEAN region, helping to drive the next wave of transportation innovation.
