   Kapsch TrafficCom wins motorway project in Germany

     • Groundbreaking C-ITS project increases safety on motorways
     • Kapsch TrafficCom supplies, installs and operates hardware and
       software

   Berlin, January 18, 2023 - Kapsch TrafficCom (KTC) has signed a contract
   for a groundbreaking C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems)
   project with the German Autobahn GmbH of the Federal Government on 4
   October 2023.

   The contract is expected to be worth EUR 7 million and can grow up to EUR
   36 million if all conditional stages for the introduction of further
   services are fully confirmed.

   Under the project, mobile barrier boards indicating limited-time work
   sites will be equipped with so-called ITS Roadside Stations (IRS), which
   send warning messages directly to approaching vehicles. This can reduce
   the risk of accidents in dangerous road works areas, as drivers are
   informed more quickly and directly about road works.

   Carolin Treichl, Executive Vice President EMENA at Kapsch TrafficCom,
   explains: "We are very pleased to work with Autobahn GmbH on this
   pioneering European C-ITS project. Construction sites are zones with a
   higher risk of accidents than other road areas - and because people work
   on the road here, safety is particularly important."

   Design, implementation, maintenance and operation

   In addition to around 1,200 IRS, Kapsch TrafficCom is supplying the
   cloud-based CMCC (Connected Mobility Control Center) software that
   controls the IRS and can also act as an interface to other traffic
   management systems. In addition to the installation of the hardware, which
   is carried out in cooperation with a local partner company, KTC is also
   responsible for the operation and maintenance of all system elements for a
   period of up to 12 years together with Autobahn GmbH.

   "We have global experience with the implementation and operation of such
   projects to ensure the long-term availability and stability of the
   systems. The technology, which can also be used for urban applications, is
   future-proof - so further use cases can be covered with the existing
   hardware and software," says Marko Frank, Sales Manager Germany at Kapsch
   TrafficCom.

   C-ITS enables the mobility of the future

   C-ITS technology can make a substantial contribution to road safety and
   the prevention of congestion, as relevant information can be exchanged
   more quickly and directly between vehicles, road infrastructure and road
   operators.

   In addition to the essential use cases that are now being implemented in
   Germany, the technology can also be used, for example, to transmit
   warnings of traffic jams, approaching emergency vehicles or even rain or
   fog on the roadway, thereby preventing accidents.

   In urban areas, the technology can be used above all to make high-risk
   zones, such as intersections, safer for all road users in order to prevent
   accidents and improve the general flow of traffic and mobility, whether by
   bicycle, car, public transport or on foot.

   "Technology offers the unique opportunity to connect all elements of the
   transport infrastructure and thus shape the mobility of the future.
   Connected vehicles create more safety, reliability, speed and, above all,
   sustainability," concludes Marko Frank.
