Efkon supplies Asfinag with toll sticker monitoring system

Toll technology company Efkon AG, part of Austrian builder Strabag, has supplied Asfinag Maut Service GmbH with mobile systems for the automatic control of toll stickers. The system helps to automatically identify toll violators without interrupting the flow of traffic, thus increasing traffic safety.

In Austria and in other countries, the toll sticker system has established itself as the tolling method for vehicles with a maximum permissible gross weight under 3.5t because it is easy to use and economical. In addition to toll enforcement and monitoring officers, Asfinag also uses automatic enforcement and monitoring systems (Automatische Vignettenkontrolle, AVK). The system checks if vehicles have a valid toll sticker affixed to their front windshield without interrupting the flow of traffic. The automatic enforcement and monitoring system is installed in places along motorways and expressways where physical vehicle controls are not possible or only possible with great difficulty. The system supports the Asfinag toll enforcement officers in their work. In the interest of those road users who comply with payment of the time-limited toll, an efficient, automatic toll sticker enforcement and monitoring system is fairer and more equitable.
